I caught a glimpse of a B-24 painting/print that had a Zodiac nose art B-24 and it was a close up of just the nose in a clear blue sky, with 2 other B-24s in the distance. I think it may have been the Leo or Sagitarius ship, but I am not positive. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I'd really like to get a copy. Thanks!

If it's the one I'm thinking of, it was a poster that came with the Acacemy 1/72 B-24H kits.
I think I have one, but I'm pretty sure it is the 'Aries' ship. There were a few different ones, ie Leo, Gemini, Aquaria, etc.

Academy/Minicraft released "collector kits" of four different Zodiac B-24s; Aries, Aquarius, Gemini and Leo. Each came with a print of the aircraft, painted by well known aviation artist Roy Grinnell.

This looks like the one you're describing. I post it here just for informational purposes..if the mods believe it violates copyright restrictions then please delete.
