Hi All,
I've seen these decals at Geat Models and went looking for a photo of the B-24H 'Queen of Hearts' represented on this sheet. I did find photos of that particular aircraft by tail number as the 'Queen of Hearts'. The nose art in the photos is completely different from that on the decal sheet. Anybody out there with references or info on this aircraft that could clarify this apparent discrepancy? Thanks!

John

Hi John.
Give me some more information. Serial Number, Bomb Group etc and I'll see what I can come up with.

I goofed and missed the second photo of this aircraft. It was B-24H, 42-52511, of the 466th BG, 785th BS. The decal sheet is, in fact, spot on. I'll go see the optometrist on Monday!
