One of my more recent efforts:







The display at the USAF Museum at Wright Patterson is tan, closer to the old B25 in my picture but it is commonly described as pink in WWII period reports so I used light tan.

Wow, it really looks pink very pink to me,lol.

Strawberry B i t c h

By Daniel P. Rice- Pilot- 512th Squadron, 376th Bomb Group

The airplane which became named the Strawberry #%&*$# and later was placed on exhibit at the United States Air Force Museum was assigned to our crew at Herington Air Force Base, Kansas, in late August, 1943. I signed an issue ticket for it there. At that point it was merely one of many B-24Ds off the assembly line at San Diego, distinguished from all the rest of its model only by its serial number — at least until it had received its coat of camouflage pink paint. At that point it became one of a much smaller 'group....


The rest of the pilots recollections are here:

Yeah, she sure is pink!
My 3 yr old Granddaughter has claimed it for her own, because "It is the only pink one."

Real men fly pink....

Plus, given how diffuclt those birds were to keep pointed into the wind, I'd say every part of that title is apt.

I join your grand-daughter in approving of this model!

Nice job.

Anyone remembers Papa Doc from the old Flanker community? He flew pink!

Yes I remember Papa Doc...I also remember the massive fall out he had

I remember Popa Doc too. Nice B-24 Sunchaser

Definitely remember PapaDoc, coined the term Aimbeciles as I recall, or something like that. Got a special pink Flanker from the devs too!

It's a pity he's not a member of the community any more, what happened?
