oh, btw, I'm missing some references.

 What I am looking for, is;

* The marking at the station of Clarence E. Mitchell, left waist gunner. It is comprised of "Sally" in big white letters, but I can't get any detailed photo on the small yellow letters with C. E. Mitchell's rank, name and kill score.

* The marking at station of Harold P. Loch, top gunner. In fact, I'm not sure whose name was written down in yellow letters - of the three top turret gunners to ride the Belle, whose name is painted at the top turret station??

* Did Robert Hanson, radio operator/gunner, have his name painted on the Belle like other crew members? If so, I couldn't find where.

* I've two different paint jobs of the restored Belle. The first one, is painted "Pete Repete" at the tail gunner's station. The second one, had "Pete Repeat". Anyone know which is correct?

 
 Any info on any of these subjects, will be much appreciated. As a thank-you, contributors of above required info, will have their name/forum ID inscribed on some obsolete corner of the Belle, as a thank you :D


ps) The edition of cheek guns in the G model, is obviously a problem to solve. I'll have to move back the original markings a little bit.

nice! I can't wait to see that.  Keep in mind that skins cannot always be 100% accurate..you are going to have to make some compromises in the case of "Pete Repeat" and cheek guns on the g model.
