I too have 2 1/48 scale models I have never built. I bought them the 80's that my dad and I were going to build together but we never did. He pass away in 1990 and they have been sitting on a shelf all these years. He already had a model plane of this name Li'l Audrey complete with the apostrophe painted on it's nose which he flew as a BTG sitting on his TV. He always talked about the checker board tail and his dd214 shows him in 551bs / 385bg I had two pictures of him and his crews. Both photos we lost in a house fire. One was a photo taken New Mexico and at the time all I could make out on the tail was a 008. Many years later I was to see the photo of Li'l Audery 42-32008. The service record of her has her coming back to Kirtland AFB in NM and scrapped in Albuquerque. My dad was stationed at Kirtland and my parents met in Albuquerque so it fits. The other photo I found on line and when I seen it a cold chill went down my spine. It was the crew photo of Li'l Audrey 41-24523. assigned 323BS/91BG He is bottom row second from right. That plane crashed with another and crew was lost he was not on that flight. His dd214 may not be complete because it had him with two last names same serial number. Good luck with your build and hope it is the 008
