B-17G 305th BG "She's a Honey"
« on: December 15, 2021, 06:34:27 PM »
Assigned to the 364th BS and flown by Lt George C. Kuhl, "She's A Honey" was based out of Chelveston in early 1945.

These shots make me want to get a big formation together and just go absolutely plaster a target...

I get alot of inspiration from WWII aviation art.  This one is by Charles Taylor:

Also, for a moment I read that as "She's a Horny"

Well done. 

I would consider some more opaque panel line shading to lend  depth but that's just nitpicking.    :salute :cheers:

Thanks, fellas.

I have some final tweaks to do but I'll get her submitting this morning.

Pretty imaginative nose art.  It's not always pinup girls.   After service with the 305thBG, this aircraft was transferred to the 384th and the fuselage letter ID was repainted as SU-A.   They painted the 384th's large black-bordered white triangle on the tail but left the 305th's green band there.

By the time her service was over she looked pretty rough. I don't think she made it home after the War.  Info says she was salvaged in Germany.
