This new decal sheet from Pyn-Up Decals includes markings for two different 1/48 B-17's in paint schemes that will reward you at the next contest.  

The first aircraft is a B-17G-35-VE, 42-97880, DF-F, Little Miss Mischief.  The paint scheme for this aircraft is the oddest collection of parts from a variety of aircraft I've seen in a long time.  This is a G model so it comes with the chin guns and side guns on the nose to help deal with the new head on attacks being used by the Luftwaffe.  This aircraft suffered a massive flak hit to the waist gunner area wounding one of the waist gunners and despite the massive damage and cut control cables (which were patched up by her crew) she was able to limp home.  The repair depot removed the intact front half of the aircraft and grafted it to  the rear half of an older aircraft.  This gave the aircraft the bare metal front and Olive Drab rear portion.  Further repairs include d a bare metal rudder and an Olive Drab wing tip.  This aircraft had an was forced to make emergency landing in France where she remained for a month while repairs were completed.  In a later mission she lost her  #4 engine and eventually belly landed in the UK when her landing gear collapsed.  She was repaired again and was probably scrapped after the war.  The history of this aircraft is as full as her paint job is odd.  

Sexy noseart includes a topless Red Head wearing a red with white poka dots bikini bottom as she holds a puppy.  She is standing next to script that reads "Little Miss Mischief" and all this is beside a massive amount of mission markings that show the true history of this battle weary aircraft.  There is no doubt this aircraft would stand out on the contest table and there is always the option of doing her in a diorama of her crashed landed on a runway in the UK with the wheels up.  

The second aircraft is a B-17F-20-DL, 42-3040, 91 BG/323 BS, OR*Q, Miss Ouachita which was sadly shot down by Heinz BŠr on 21 Feb 44 with 2 KIA / 8 POW.  The aircraft crash landed in a pasture and was mostly in tact as the Luftwaffe considered her repairable for future Luftwaffe missions, but she was spotted by American fighters and destroyed on the ground.
