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.
- The second aircraft is "Piccadilly
Princess" Lancaster B I NG347 QB-P, 424 Sqd from Skipton on Swale
in 1945. This aircraft was retired in May 1947. The nose art on
the left side of the nose is a sexy lady in light blue underwear in a
sitting pose with her back to the viewer pulling her bra off with the yellow
script "Piccadilly Princess" next to the nose art. This
aircraft has 9 mission markings.
- The third aircraft is "Fannin'
Fanny" Lancaster B I ZL-F NX554 QB-P, 427 Sqd. This aircraft was
scrapped in Oct 1946. The nose art on the left side of the nose is a
sexy topless cowgirl with a six shooter riding a buckin' bronco horse with
the red text "Fannin' Fanny" below to the nose art. This
aircraft has 7 mission markings.
- The fourth aircraft is "Fair Fighter's
Revenge" Lancaster B III ME812 AS-F, 166 Sqd from Kirmington in

The nose art on the left side of the nose is a nude blonde lady straddling a
big black bomb as she holds 2 black pistols with the red and white script

mission markings.
- The sixth aircraft is "Zombie"
Lancaster B II LL725 EQ-Z, 408 Sqd from Linton-on-Ouse in March 1944.
This aircraft was MIA against the Hamburg raid on Mar 16 1944. The
nose art on the left side of the nose is a running skeleton carrying weapons
of some sort with the white script "Zombie" below to the nose
art. This aircraft has 5 bomb and 15 Maple Leaf mission
markings. The Maple Leaf mission markings are for missions over
countries in occupied Europe.
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.
I would like to
thank Zotz
Decals for providing me with this review sample.
