The aircraft was assigned to the 397th Bomb Squadron, 6th Bomb Group, based in the Panama Canal Zone, and was operated on anti-submarine patrol from Managau to Salinas, Ecuador and all over the Caribbean. http://www.b24bestweb.com/nightmission-v2-2.htm
The original nose art from the starboard side still survives today, having been saved by a scrapyard foreman (along with over 30 other sections of nose art that were cut off of B-24's, B-17's and PB4Y's) prior to the aircraft being scrapped in the late 40's. These are now in the care of the Commemorative Air Force Museum, and more recently were displayed at the EAA Museum at Oshkosh. Not a repro, it's the real thing: https://flickr.com/photos/zaruka/286...7671736198166/
indeed, and the noseart I used was a photograph of that panel, you can't beat the real thing.
But I need to revisit that paint, I found out that the white also covered part of the top of the wings..
You can find most of my repaints for FSX/P3D in the library here on the outhouse.
