A slightly different version than the first one I did last year

This ia a reproduction used by the 560th squadron of the 388th BG. I've seen these on several jackets at reunions. There was also a B-17 named "gremlin Gus" with this artwork.

The first version I posted here was titled 560th BS. This is where I got the 546th from on the second page because I couldn't find my reference -

Really great, Sean!... You've got that center character image, extending out past the circled main field... perfectly!... Makes the patch really "POP"!

Great job, Sean!

I find it absolutely amazing how you manage to sew all these tiny leather pieces together.

Here is a combination of painting and handsewing..did it some time ago:

That looks great. Sewing is definitely one of my least favorite thins to do, something is always going wrong with the machines I use, the old singers. They will last forever, but constantly need cleaning and adjustment depending on the thread I use.
