Cartoonist Bill Mauldin, whose characters Willie and Joe captured the unheroic nature of the G.I.'s life in WWII while portraying the G.I.s’ truly heroic nature.
I fixed the split in the fuselage on the Mitchell, and even managed to mix up a good color to patch it with. Got decals on too. No specific plane to model it after, just a generic North Africa scheme. I just need a name for the nose now.
I've also been working on the mountain for Ober Holdenburg. Lots of drops and switchbacks, lots of little scraps of foam all over. I really need to convert to hot glue.
