Wanted -- 1/72 F-82 Betty Joe decals

[kitnut617]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if there is a decal sheet for the F-82 Betty Joe in 1/72 scale.  Found I can get a kit in 1/48 but that's not my scale.

Cheers

It's 'Betty Jo' isn't it?  

I took these at Dayton some years ago and I reckon I could print some from the pics I've got if you can't find any, but Microscale did a couple of P-82 sheets and IIRC one had 'Betty Jo' on it



There's a badge under the inboard side cockpit of the starboard fuselage that I can't see well though, you can just see it on this one.

It's both, actually. Kind of a funny story there...

Let's just say that there was a misunderstanding and the pilot was not happy when he showed up along with all the press to set off on his record-breaking flight.





Cheers,

Logan

That's what I found while looking for photos of it, there's two variations.  Even you pic at Dayton Kit, shows it different to the photo Logan posted   

Anyway, will look for the Microscale sheet before I ask you for help Kit.

IIRC the time I saw Betty Jo at Dayton they said they'd just refurbished it, and it certainly looks all spruced up in my pics.

The name script is more sloped in Logan's pics, which look as if they were taken contemporary to the time of the record flight.
