Responsibility details are not available.
Among the thousands of machines that flew from English airfields over Germany, one single aircraft earned the most attention. Its crew was among the first to complete the whole prescribed number of combat flights and came home for a publicity tour, which turned the aircraft into a name that outlived the war by decades. The sheet brings the markings of this very machine and along with it one more from the same group, which had no such luck but carried the same squadron codes on its fuselage.
At 1:144 the letter codes are so small that the difference between a successful machine and a failed one comes down to the thickness of the carrier film, not to the accuracy of placement. Cut the decals out as close to the printing as possible, ideally with a fresh blade and with a support under your guiding hand. A border wider than half a millimeter will draw attention to itself with a highlight once dry.
Before starting, polish the surface and coat it with a gloss layer. Lay the decal onto a drop of water rather than onto dry varnish, so that there is room to move it, and soak the excess water up with the corner of a paper tissue drawn away from the printing. On fuselage codes that run across rows of rivets, pricking the film with a needle before applying the softener helps, so that the air underneath escapes. Matte varnish over the whole machine finally levels the difference between film and paint.
