Decal Information

The sheet provides B-24 713th Bomber Squadron High Visibility markings for 1-600 scale aircraft miniatures.

The decals are sized for Tumbling Dice B-24 Liberator miniatures. Paint the tail fins yellow before application. The circle and aircraft letter are clear, allowing the yellow paint to show through and match the yellow tail fins and engine cowlings.

They are printed on clear-background waterslide decal paper. They need to be individually cut out. Apply over a properly prepared and gloss-coated model surface using normal waterslide-decal techniques.

Historical Information

The 713th Bombardment Squadron served with the 448th Bombardment Group, operating the Consolidated B-24 Liberator in the European air war. The group was based at Seething, England, as part of the Eighth Air Force.

The B-24's twin fins and broad wings provided prominent areas for national and formation-identification markings. Group and squadron markings helped distinguish aircraft within the large bomber formations assembled for operations over occupied Europe.

This set represents the conspicuous unit-identification treatment identified as high visibility in the product range. Such markings should be matched to the aircraft's date and finish rather than combined indiscriminately with earlier camouflage and code arrangements.

The 713th Squadron's unit identity is only one part of a complete aircraft scheme. Use a dated photograph to match the aircraft letter, serial, national insignia and tail treatment, especially when representing an individual Liberator rather than a general tabletop formation.
