I have a digital photograph of the nose art from my uncles B-24.

Any ideas on how to transfer this to a 1/48 scale model (Revell)
BTW hand painting it is absolutely not gonna happen.
Also, how about adding color and what colors to use.
Thanks in advance for any ideas you may have.
RAF Liberator Squadrons Not what you were after but it might have some handy reference material [:)]
If you have an Ink-jet printer, it’s fairly easly to make to make your own decals…
As for transferring the artwork to your computer, that’s kinda out of my lane, but once you do (Do it as Bitmap), just print it out on white decal paper (I get mine at Hobby Lobby) and then spray it with Testor’s Decal Bonder… Coloring it is easy enough with MS Paint…
There’s also a gal on Ebay that makes and sells pin-up decals for custom Nose-art… I bought a coulple sheets of her “Varga Girls” 1/48 sheets… Each contains about 30 different pin-up decals… That one looks like a copy of one of the many pin-ups done by Alberto Vargas (Many, many “gals” were) for Esquire magazine in the 40’s… I’ll get you a link to her later today… Gotta find the decal sheet first…
Thanks for the info guys.
Ahem, guess I’ll have to check out the Vargas girls when the kids and wife are shopping.
Me: “Honey, I’m just looking at these pictures to get an idea for nose art to put on uncle Freds airplane!”
Her: “How come you don’t look at pictures of me for nose art?”
Hey John small world, yes there is certainly a lot of reference material on there, there should be I’ve been collating it for the 12 years the site has been there 
Thx for the plug mate see you back at KM 
Unfortunately for me, I have young granddaughters and a mother and grandmother to please, so I have to keep them clean.
not sure if this will help… but look up the dude vance crozier on here, he’s helped me out with some art work. then get a good printer, or a friend with one, and print to some decal paper. If he’s not to busy, he might be willing to help…
