I just had to have it

Yeah, I’m all with you there!

Edit: Actually, the B-17 tags are from the skin of the Collings Foundation “Nine-O-Nine” which had large parts of its wing skin removed due to storm damage.

And, how do I know it’s from the actual aircraft? There’s no proof, but then again I don’t think MotoArt would risk their reputation on a lie like that.

My B-17 part is 0,5-0,6mm thick and is blue/white(ish). Must be from a part with a USAF roundel…? The back is zinc chromate with a little corrosion in places.
The Boeing 767 “Gimli Glider” tag is 1,8mm thick and has a white, slightly scuffed, front, and a very even green protective coating on the back.
The B-52 tag has a dark grey front and has an uneven, slightly cracked protective coat, with some corrosion, on the back. 1,2mm thick.

Those are common thicknesses for aircraft skin so that checks out. I hope they are sealed on the outside at least? Some of those chemicals used are not too friendly for human.

The protective coating of the 767 is probably primer?

I don’t believe they are… There’s a warning saying “Don’t put in mouth” though :wink:

The 767 is probably primer, yes.

Here’s a pic of the backs.

That’s a proper warning :stuck_out_tongue:

To be honest, as long as you don’t rub it on your fingers daily and then eat something you should probably be fine!

They tried to make one, but their tools kept bouncing off the skin…
