I am working on an olive drab version of the P-61 n the ETO. I have seen many B-17s with foot prints all over the wings and would like to replicate this look. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
Appreciate the look and more to follow,
On the bench: P-61
On Deck: Super Wing Series P-51
In the hole: BF/ME 109 - Converting to carrier based w/Folding wings
I have seen footprint decals for armor,and small boots that can be dipped in paint and pressed on the model
If it were me, I'd use a spare figure in that scale to make the print, but instead of paint I'd press his feet into an ink pad like from a rubber stamp set. Might give you a little more control.

Like this idea. Gonna give it a whirl on a spare part. Let ya know.
Yeah but the only thing is that most figures don't have a tread pattern on the bottom of their boots,at least the ones in my stash don't
WWII GI shoes had a less pronounced tread pattern than anything issued in the past 25 years. Sort of a diamond pattern on a flat front sole plate and a heel with a u-pattern of holes. If you have ever seen original Corcoran jump boot soles, they are pretty much unchanged since WWII except for the color.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
N is for NO SURVIVORS...

I will scribe a pattern in the soles. I appreciate and will post the results later today or tomorrow.
I can't help but think that at 1/48 scale, the boot marks would be more like scuffs and smudges rather than something with well-defined and clearly discernable tread marks.

This.
This is an awesome idea!
On the bench: Tamyia Mosquito Mk. VI for the '44 group build. Yes, still.
