Any interest out there in real sheet metal, skinned nose art replicas? A buddy and mine are gonna do a few for fun to give away. Just a post to see if theres some interest :) He is a superb model builder  and painter and we both do sheet metal work.( and crazy ww2 buffs)

Kewl! Post pics.. should be 'wall mountable' and 'not to full scale' (to big). Edge treatment; rivits, weathering.. all big pluses.

Should be recognizable instantly for what it's intended to be..

Yep, I think you gotta product.

FYI one guy in our CAF unit did two of these for Open House sales. There were decently done, reasonably priced. The Wing still has 'em . ;)

Start small, gauge the reaction. Good luck.

I can't see them NOT selling if they are of any quality at all.
