Nose Art.....

Post by f56tbird » Mon Feb 07, 2011 5:42 pm

Gentlemen..,
With the first introduced and then the failure of "Passion Wagon" to become available to collectors, what nose art would our members like to see on our planes and future releases. Also if you could.., what markings and nose art would you apply to any existing planes in your collections. The markings can be any including pin up ladies, names, pictures, nick names and so on. Lets see......


Movie trivia question for this posting..
What movie is this quote from..
"Watch out for the cop that's in Jerrys Cherry"...
There was a demon that lived in the air. They said that whoever challanged him would die. He lived behind a barrier through which they said no man could ever pass. They called it..., the sound barrier..

Well, considering my favorite nose art has already been done (Catmouth Hellcat).

Probably, the Aleutian P-40E "Tiger". That is one great scheme!

It isn't a 1:18 plane (well at least it won't happen in our lifetimes), but I'd like the B-24 Diamond Lil' of the Confederate now Commemorative Air Force. :)

For 1:18 I would love for JSI to release a Glacier Girl P-38 repaint.

That Aleutians Tiger would be my choice as well. Unfortunately no later model P-40 to put it on yet.

Second would be Shangri' La P-51 B/C, there again the same.

I do love that Felix the Cat holding the bomb on US Navy Planes. I guess they're still using it on modern jets.
I've seen it on WWII F4F Wildcats and Hellcats. Maybe even older than that on the colorful pre-war planes.

"Tomcatters", with Felix the cat are a favourite.

The P-40 just looks great with nose art. Be it shark mouth or something else. The "Aleutian Tigers" look great, as does the Burmese "skull"

Always liked the P-40 Shark nose. Also the A-10 Shark mouth.
