I'm looking for clear pictures of the nude woman depicted on both sides of the fuselage of the Tuskeegee P-51D Creamer's Dream, flown by Capt. Charles White:





Thanks.

Richard,

The only example I can suggest is on the ARMOR 1/48 Diecast P51D Model of the same airplane.

Thanks. I will check it out. I will need to reproduce the pictures large enough so that they can be used on a .60 size P-51D Mustang.

Try to see if Squadron/Signal has a decal sheet for 1/48 or 1/32 size P-51 with the marking you want.

Let us know how you go.
Every reference I have seen to this particular airplane has always shown the left hand side.
I don't think they want to show the right side, with the front side of the naked lady, for fear of censorship.

So far I have yet to find a diecast model of the same plane. I did find a 1/48 scale decal sheet by Three Guys Replicas: [link=http://www.amtechmodels.com/TGR_view.cfm?Item=TGR48017]Tuskegee Airmen in Italy[/link]

I think you're gonna end up in the same situation as I did with the P-40. No clear photo exist and you will end up exercising your artist creative freedom and come up with your own girl. Many time the decals are made off of fuzzy photos and since most end up in 1/48 they can compromise. The decals of this particular girl, from what I have in my collection are very weak.

Maybe contact the Tuskegee fighter association, never know the artist may still be kickin'

A while back I considered the same markings for a mustang project. In the end I decided to pass largely for two reasons. The first being I've got a bunch of youngish kids in the house and thought it would be hard to explain why Daddy has a naked lady on his airplane and second because it wasn't clear in the documentation that I found whether the other side of airplane actually had the woman on it too.

I never went to the extent of trying to contact the fellas at the Tuskegee Airmen's Association but all the books I had or looked at had conflicting opinions as to whether the art was on both sides. I hope you do build it, it is a beautiful airplane with great markings.

A guy locally had an ARC Global 60 sized mustang built and then had the markings put on it. He used the decal and then paid someone to blow it up to the proper size and clean the image up in photoshop and then had it printed in the proper size.

I believe the art was on both sides of the plane, and apparently, the other side has a full frontal pose:



I will order the decal sheet and enlarge the pictures. One way or another, my plane will wear the proper art and markings.

For my P-40 of Lt. Landers "Texas Longhorn", I had used Pro-Mark to re-create the decal sheet in for the 1/7th scale. The did excellent work, and the decal came out clear and crisp.

Give them a try.

Richard, Armor do a model of this airplane. I have seen it, (the store where I saw it had it on window display, but once again, left side out for customers to view) I will try and find the stock no for you.

Woody 51

Me again.

I checked with the store that I saw the model displayed in.

The model I saw was from the 1st ever 1/48 scale release by Armor a few years back. It has been OOP for some time. They had 1 left (a couple of months back) and it sold quickly.

But all is not lost, if you can afford to wait a bit.

Corgi Aviation are releasing a 1/72 scale diecast model of "Creamers Dream" about April this year.

You can view and also pre order from:

Hope this helps.

Thanks. That helps a lot. The Corgi Aviation model looks pretty nice. Too bad it will be only 1/72 scale.
