I am building a 1/18 scale B-17 that will be in the colors of the Piccadilly Lily as it appeared in the movie Twelve O Clock High. Does anyone have a straight on photo view of the pin up nose art that would be suitable to make into a decal? The pin up was the same one used in the TV show as well. The only photos of the lady I can find on the internet are at angles and this would not work for creating a decal. Thanks.

Glad to see that we are not the only crazy people.How far along are you on the plane?Pics please.

Unfortunately, I am not very far along so far. I am building the EAM kit and putting way too much detail into the fiberglass fuselage for a plane that I am hoping to fly at some point. I do plan on eventually taking photos of the kit as it nears completion but for now, it just has too far to go. I have designed a decal for the nose art but it is much too detailed compared to the rather plain nose art pin up used in the movie and tv show. I am hoping that someone has a photo of the Piccadilly Lily that was taken from a straight on view so that I can customize a decal. I should be ready to paint the fuselage section by this Spring if I can stay motivated.

That aircraft is at the Planes of Fame museum, Chino CA.. You can probably find some pictures on their website.

How about using the art from 100th bombgroup B-17 named Piccadilly Lilly.Uou can find a pic of it at 100th bg website.Have fun.
