Franz Stigler Decals?


Recommended Posts

I looked too. You can get Ye Olde Pub for the B-17, but I've only seen 48 scale 109 decals so far.

 

And the book was awesome. A truly amazing story, that.

Thanks thats what I'm finding out, no joy but I guess I can piece meal them together or have a custom set of mask made.

 

I'm about half way through the book and it is a very good read to be certain. Very interesting to read about the other side trials and tribulations.

 

We were enemies at one time but they bleed, lost loved ones and died just like our fathers, brothers, uncles during these horrible times.

If you check out Kits Worlds 48th Ye Old Pub it gives you Stiglers markings...most look pretty generic other than the kill markings...you might be able to piece them together...

John Shaws painting truly is a great tribute to this moment.

Have it hanging over our bar...always a talking point.

I've always wanted to find a quality print for framing, but I've had no luck so far.

 

The most amazing part of the story is the postwar part. How they met, became best friends, families intermingling and all, and passing away within a few months of each other.

A story that needs to be made into a movie, without any of the added Hollywood drama and romance BS.

The story itself stands on it's own merit as almost unbelievable.

Because of Stigler, 8 men lived to have families and grow old.

Nick Trudgian has done two prints and thecmost well known print by John Shaw which is on the cover of the book virtually impossible to find. He did do a second print as well.

Took me 5 years to get a copy of Shaws Higher Call print and even then i was lucky.

Good luck!

Sliding off just a bit... John Shaw also did a series of 4 as tribute to the original A.V.G.

 The one I have has 4 P-40(Bs and Es) flying low through the Li river gorge, and is signed by 16 of the original 318 members.

The print above would be nice to have as well.
