Hi All,
Interesting thread, sometime back before David Tallichete had his B-17 repainted it look like a 100 mission combat Vet.
I remember going to some shows with the 17 and haveing vets come up and say thats what are planes used to look like not that shinny thing next to you and guess what was seem to be always next to us a P-51.
After the the movie was fineshed david use the plane as a mold for full scall Fiberglass replicas. Well who ever did the casting forgot to put on anothe selant so when it came to remove the resin mold it pulled chunks of paint off.
This was great for effect but it also present a problem that everytime we went somewere we would lose a chunk of paint.
I remember doing a photo shoot over the coast of Maine near a Light House and a section of paint came off the top of the wing it must have been 5 or 6 square feet of paint. I’m glad it was over water.
