Tell us how you checkered the nose or I will send my serpent tongued Mother-in-law to you tomorrow!

No thanks on the mother-in-law thing.I will tell you . After painting the cowl white I use vinyl decal material.The squares are 1/2"x 1/2" layed on one at a time.Only thing you have to remember is the tapper at the end of the cowl.Watch the spacing.

Jeez, John, it's not a capital crime. Give the boy a break. Boy that's a good job of decaling. Very impressive. I like the guns too.

Thank you sir...transparent stick on squares...and I hand painted the nose of my Camel...what a dunce!

I think it would be easier to paint. I couldn't keep them straight and even.

Nice! B-17 gunners might mistake this for a 78th fighter group P-47, but they usually shot at everything anyway. Great job on prop!!
