For those who don't know Chris's grandfather was a crewmember on the 90th BG B-24 "Queen of Hearts" ... very cool indeed and a very proud grandson for sure.

Good, I was hoping some of those were new to you.
BTW what color was the tail on you granddad's B-24 here


B-24J-150-CO s/n 44-40185 "Queen of Hearts" from the 320th BS, 90th BG, 5th AF

320th BS had red tails behind the skull & cross bombs with a red and white striped rudder. For the longest time we believed that the inside color of the shark mouth was red as well...


But my father and I now have come to the conclusion that is was a dark blue instead.


This is a CafeReo 1/144th Scale B-24 with custom decals I ended up drawing on the computer, scaled down and applied onto the model to finish my grandfather's aircraft.
