"I purchased some decals a while back for Strawberry Bitch with the purpose of making a model for a friend of mine who flew missions on her while serving in the 9th AF. I've attached some pictures of the completed kit, along with a photo of my friend with it. Tom (my friend) was a Staff Sergeant and armament chief during his tour. His station was left waist gunner. He participated in 51 missions to such wonderful places as Toulon (submarine pens), Regensburg, and Ploesti (seven times). He was based for most of his tour in San Pangrazio, Italy. He was absolutely thrilled to receive the model and kept repeating how beautiful he thought it was. Sincerely, Jack Horstman"
