The aircraft's appearance is not exactly like the actual Memphis Belle. The nose art, style of the bomb markers indicating completed missions, group ID markings (DF-A), and tail number (124485, USAAF serial number 41-24485) are accurate. The script font of the plane's name is different from the original, which uses plain yellow block letters. The plane in the movie has a fairly clean OD green/sky gray paint job (USAAF standard in 1943), while the real Belle had a more mottled finish at the time due to fresh paint being applied over patched bullet and shrapnel holes (this is sometimes mistaken for a camouflage pattern).
