About product

Three machines that airfields still remember today

Among the thousands of Lancasters there is a handful whose names are known even to someone with no interest in bomber aviation. Machines like that are the subjects of this sheet: two combat veterans of 1944 and one aircraft that has survived to the present day.

Specifically these aircraft:

  • EE139 Phantom of the Ruhr - codes BQ-B, No. 100 Squadron, Waltham 1944
  • EE176 Mickey The Moocher - codes OF-N, No. 97 Squadron, Bourn 1944
  • PA474 Thumper - codes KC-A, No. 617 Squadron, Woodhall Spa 1944, pilot Flt Lt Bob Knight

The first two machines are among the most often built Lancasters of all, because their noses were decorated with extensive artwork and rows of bomb symbols matching the dozens of raids completed. The third aircraft is a special case: PA474 has survived and still flies today in the colors of several historic machines as part of a memorial flight.

The combination in one package makes practical sense as well. Anyone building step by step gets three different chapters of the same type: two machines from the height of the night campaign over the Ruhr and one that stands for its commemoration after the war. The differences between them lie not only in the lettering but also in the equipment of the fuselage.

The sheet therefore suits a display case of classic night bombers as well as a build capturing the present-day form of the flying example. Applying them follows the usual rules: a gloss surface, a short soak, transfer with a brush. On the larger pieces of nose art, softener helps the film give way to the shape of the fuselage under the cockpit.

FAQ

The aircraft EE139, EE176 and PA474. The first two were combat machines of No. 100 and No. 97 Squadrons, and the third belonged to No. 617 Squadron and has survived to the present day.

The markings of PA474 are done in the form of 1944. For the present-day look of the aircraft the current colors would have to be looked up, because the machine has changed its coat repeatedly.

It is recommended. The fuselage under the cockpit has a rounded transition and without softener the film could stand off at the edges.

Every marking is printed once, so one sheet produces one fully marked model and the remaining two sets of markings stay in reserve.
