I am looking to do a 1/72nd scale Consolidated B-24D Liberator in the "Desert Pink" paint scheme used by 2 of the 5 groups involved in Operation Tidal Wave. I can't seem to find any decals that match. Aeromaster used to have a sheet but the web site (Eagle Strike) says the sheet is no longer available. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Pat

I have an extra copy of the Aeromaster decals (72-025) that I am willing to let go. The sheet has decals for four Ploesti Raiders.

I don't know how easy/difficult they are to find now but for the IPMS Nationals in San Diego several years ago, the convention booklet came with a really beautiful decal sheet for several Ploesti B-24s in both 1/48 and 1/72 scale. the booklet also had a multi-page piece on corrections to the Monogram 1/48 B-24D to make an accurate Ploesti aircraft. At least one aircraft featured also has later markings for it when it was a formation ship. Perhaps someone else out there might be willing to part with the sheet or the markings for one of the aircraft.
Good luck in your search...
