A set of markings in 1:32 size for a model of a Fortress that flew with the 91st Bomb Group. The machine earned its nickname from the patches left by antiaircraft fire.
Responsibility details are not available.
Among the bombers of the 91st Group this example was one of those talked about over breakfast. It came back from raids with its surfaces shot through so often that its fuselage and wing were covered with mismatched pieces of new sheet metal, and the nickname grew from exactly those. The mechanics left them alone as long as the machine kept flying, so in period photographs it looks like a mosaic of differently shaded panels. The supplier assigns two different squadrons to it, which was nothing unusual with surviving aircraft: as the units were replenished, their most battered machines moved with them.
The printing allows for the fact that in 1:32 scale the customer will see every detail. The outlines of the letters are sharp, the colors cover strongly and the registration holds even on the tiny lettering, which in smaller sizes would merge into a blur.
If you are going to build the aircraft with its repaired surfaces as well, lay the markings on only after the patches have been sprayed and clear coated. A decal laid across the junction of two surfaces of differing sheen behaves unpredictably and the edge beneath the film often shows through. Look at the sheet against the light before you start work and plan the order in which you will release the markings; once the paper is wet you want to work fast and there is no time left for deliberation.
