Product Details: Everything You Need to Know

This set includes paint masks for the main markings of a 100th Bomb Group Boeing B-17F Flying Fortress with the "Alice from Dallas" nose art, and are as accurate as possible with the limited amount of reference photos available (two).

The set consists of masks to replicate wing and fuselage insignia, squadron codes and letters, serial number, and the (partial) "Alice from Dallas" nose art (the word "from" will need to be hand-painted as the detail is too fine to cut at this scale).

❗ Note: We've provided three different designs for the tail markings, as each has subtle differences derived from old images. Images of the actual plane are limited, which makes it difficult to gauge the true size of the "LNO" markings. For this reason, we provide three sizes to choose from: 8.5 mm, 12 mm, and 14 mm.

The Backstory

"Alice from Dallas" was a B-17F from the 100th Bomb Group. She was shot down during a raid over Regensburg on Aug 17, 1943. Two crew members were lost.

Application Tips and Additional Information

➡️ Spare practice masks included! Check out our Paint Mask Tutorials page for a step-by-step guide on how to use and apply our masks. 

➡️ We include transfer tape with your set! Transfer tape helps accurately transfer and position masks onto the model's surface, maintaining alignment and design integrity while protecting the mask adhesive. Look for two 3"x6" pieces of transfer tape included with your masks. Learn how to Apply Main Markings Using Transfer Tape

🌟 Choose Your Material 🌟

This set is available in your choice of easy-to-apply Oramask 810 flexible vinyl or a hybrid of genuine Tamiya tape and vinyl.

Why Hybrid? A hybrid set is necessary due to the delicacy and size of some components that do not cut optimally in Tamiya tape. Please refer to the product image for clarity on what components are provided in Tamiya tape and vinyl in this hybrid set. (The area highlighted in grey is provided in Oramask 810 Flexible vinyl. All other masks are supplied in Genuine Tamiya tape.)

What's better - vinyl or Tamiya tape? Both work great! Choose vinyl if you plan to use your masks right away and Tamiya tape if you're tackling your project later on. Check out our FAQ for more info!
