--------------------

This latest sheet from Zotz Decals features 6 different Lancaster bombers.  Each bomber has nose art and 5 of thewm have sexy noseart.  One of these aircraft has different nose art on each side of the nose.

Aircraft on this sheet are all in similar night bomber paint schemes with black on the underside and tan/green camo on the topside and include the following aircraft....

  • The first aircraft is "Sugar's Blues" Lancaster B X KB864 NA-S, 428 "Ghost" Sqd from Middleton St. George in May 1945.  This aircraft returned to Canada in June 1945.  The nose art on the left side of the nose is a sexy topless red head in a green skirt with the blue script "Sugar's Blues" next to the nose art.  On the right side of the nose is a cartoon ghost holding a bomb and the text "Ghost SQD'N" in keeping with this plane being a member of 428 "Ghost" Sqd.  It is unclear if the ghost is holding a red or green bomb so both decals are included.  This aircraft has 21 mission markings.     

This is a beautiful decal sheet with a very pleasing variety in naoseart. 

The decals were flawlessly printed including the tiniest text on 2 decal sheets and in perfect registration.  The graphics on the artwork is beautifully done.....you will not be disappointed.  I enjoyed seeing some RCAF Lancasters.

 

The instructions are clear and include side view drawings of each aircraft showing noseart placement as well as code letter placement and instructions to assist with decal placement.  The sheet include national insignia and wing walk decals for one aircraft.  This re-release has been much requested and should sell out, so if you missed it the first time....make sure you don't miss it this time.
