Noseart/Decals

Her surname doesn't begin with a B does it. Duxford Museum in the UK has a B-17 - Sally B!

So it's not Mustang Sally then?

Not nose art, but you could do a Mitsubishi Ki-21 "Sally". MPM make one in 1:72 and there's a vacuform kit from Sanger in 1:48.

hmmm,

In the Vietnam war there was a F-105 by the name of Big Sal. (silver lettering on black background, on both wingroot air intakes) For pictures of the plane see:

Cave Putorem Steven

esp if the planes the better looking one of the two ;-)

Thanks for the input. Big Sal - I remember that one...

But may be not a choice all that wise..right. Although the Sally I am speaking of is a real beauty and esp a Thud is really no match for her. ;-) Ingo

I thought of that too, but I'd prefer the name on the a/c Thanks anyway

thats nice...I found two sheets containing this P-51B the search engine on hannants.co.uk of course couldn't find this one due to the strange spelling. What reason could there be for writing SALLEE? (I am no native english speaker) but I guess thats the one - short fuse sounds a bit like short-tempered, doesn't it? that would fit too... Tamiya's 'B' in 1/48 and Superscale...great. Thanks, Ingo

In this case the 'ee' and the 'y' would sound out the same. Once the Normans hit England the rules went out the window.

Hmm, English has been defenestrated...:)
