Decals in 1:32 size for the famous Fortress 42-31909 of the 323rd Bomb Squadron, a machine whose nickname came from the last three digits of its serial number.
Responsibility details are not available.
The bomber 42-31909 arrived at the 91st Bomb Group at Bassingbourn at the beginning of 1944 and served out an extraordinary series of combat missions with the 323rd Squadron. The chronicle of the unit credits it with around one hundred and forty missions without ever having to abort a takeoff because of a fault, and without anyone from the crews suffering an injury. It got its nickname from its own number: the last three digits were simply read out loud. When the war ended, the same fate met it as thousands of other four-engine aircraft: it headed for the scrapyard, not for a museum, so what remains of it today is mainly photographs with a long row of bomb symbols under the pilot's window.
The richly covered fuselage is part of the fun with this machine, but also a trap: the mission symbols form a long row that has to be seated straight. It pays to draw a faint guide line in pencil across the gloss clear and lay the row in stages rather than all at once. Then wipe the pencil off with a damp cloth and seal the surface with clear coat. The group marking on the vertical tail surface, that is, a triangle with a letter, is among the first markings that go on the model. From it you can then easily measure out the position of everything else on the tail and on the sides of the fuselage.
