KursadA Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) Has anyone ever made decals for "Lady Be Good", the B-24D that crashed in the Libyan desert? I am just brainstorming about possible subjects if I branch into WWII decals, and I wondered if it was covered before. Edited September 27, 2017 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
82Whitey51 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I can't think of ever seeing any of that aircraft. But along the lines of B-24Ds...the PB4Y-1 Liberators of the U.S. Navy are overlooked. There have been some decals of them in the past but nothing that is easy to find.

Corey Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I can't think of any sheets either. Perhaps some very early Microscale sheet, but I've never seen it. I think it's a good idea though. I also agree with Whitey that some PB4Y's would be good too. Corey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aircal62 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I don't think Lady Be Good has ever been done either, and another good one which I don't think has been done is Blue Streak. Lots of photos of Blue Streak Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andyrens Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I concur on all of the above. I have been gathering goodies for a MTO B-24D build (desert tan or at least Libyian based) and there currently isnt much out there at least in 1/48. Kit world has the whole Disney squadron, but other than that its up to find old SS or Aeromaster sheets. Or the ones included in the Pro Mod release. So some selection of tan/ Libyan based Libs would be great. And whole heatedly concur on the early Privateers. some in the atlantic scheme would be great! I can help provide references from the library if needed (and some digital photos as well). Privateers are another in the "to do" stack with the B-24D above... thanks for hitting on some of these forgotten subjects! Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon053 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I've got a Monogram B-24D my dad got me ages ago and has just been sitting doing nothing since, I would love to do something with it. I have an old book about the Lady Be Good, decals for her would be awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 On an interesting side note, they made a movie that was loosely based on the Lady Be Good story called "Sole Survivor". It's been uploaded on Youtube if anyone is interested. It's about a B-25 called the Home Run. I always wanted to do a kit of the Home Run and think this could be an interesting inclusion for a Lady Be Good decal sheet. Just tossing it out there. It would be a total whif based on a movie but what the heck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon053 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I just saw "Sole Surveyor" on YouTube not too long ago, one of my more favorite moves. Putting the B-25 on there would be nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viking73 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) Don’t forget the Twilght Zone episode - “King Nine Will Not Return”. It is one of my favorite episodes of that show and it also featured a B-25. I read that Rod Serling was inspired to write this when he heard about the LBG discovery. -Derek Edited November 26, 2017 by viking73 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

"Ladies of the Desert." Lady Be Good, Home Run, and King 9. How 'bout it Kursad? You game? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
