A set of decals 1:32 for the Boeing B-17G after the aircraft 42-102515, which the American Experimental Aircraft Association keeps today and takes around air shows.
Responsibility details are not available.
The air force took over the example with the number 42-102515 in May 1945. It never got to fight, and so after demobilization it set out on a long journey through civilian service: it carried cargo, flew survey flights and finally sprayed crops over plantations. Had the Experimental Aircraft Association not acquired it in the 1980s, it would have ended like most of its siblings. Instead it received the colors of a combat unit it never flew with, and for its fourth decade now it serves as a mobile history lesson that visitors can walk through from the inside.
The backing is printed in full color and in accurate registration, so even thin outline lines hold their shape. The film is colorless and disappears once dry, which matters with polished metal, because every extra layer shows on a smooth surface.
On a model with a surface imitating polished duralumin sheet, lay the markings on last and work in gloves. Metal shades grease up at a touch, and a fingerprint under a decal shows as a matte island that can no longer be polished back. That is another reason why with polished surfaces it pays to divide the work into stages and to cover the finished parts while you work on the rest of the model.
