While I was looking for better and more pics of a new noseart for the original 461st/764th B24J's I came across a new photo of Stinky's nose in B24s of the Fifteenth Air Force by Schiffer Publications. So I reopened up the fuselage psd's and went back to work making it more accurate before I finalize my contributions to Flight Replicas. Here are the new screenshots:

It's interesting that the starboard and port side noseart are very different. Also, originally I did not have the port (left) side noseart positioned correctly nor did I have the correct type font for #3 or the mission markings. I'm glad that I caught all the discrepancies from my original efforts. Originally flown by the James O. Bean crew, this airframe eventually had all turrets removed for use as a squadron "hack". Removing the turrets to drastically change the model is beyond my skills or desire. I like her as she is after having flown 30 missions.
