Taking a much needed break from the two years I spent on my big Project Habakkuk model ship, I have decided to get back to doing an aircraft and working on a smaller project this summer.

But this ain't no ordinary aircraft project. Oh no!

This is guarenteed to not only make heads turn at contests and get a good laugh, but also make spectators hungry as well!

My plan: Build a PBJ-1H B-25 bomber in a PBJ (Peanut Butter & Jelly) camo scheme. My plan is to substitute the top fuselage darker blue color with a gloss red or purple jelly type color. Then substitute the gray/blue mid fuselage color with a brown peanut butter color. As for the white bottom of the aircraft, I have no ideas on how to do that yet. I was thinking of making white "bread slices" from Evergreen plastic sheet, but I'm not sure yet.
I just bought some Liquitex brand acrylic gel today to use for the grape jelly, and some Liquitex modeling paste to use for the peanut butter.
I'm also planning to make this aircraft for a diorama and having some ground crew look like they're applying the PBJ to the aircraft.
Questions:
1. I've never worked with Liquitex brand gels and pastes before. Anybody got any good hints, tips, advice, etc.?
2. Since this project will be an airfield diorama, Is there any 1/72 scale WWII American ground crew and equipment sets and accessories available?
3. Any other tips, advice, suggestions, and questions are welcome and appreciated.
