Decals in 1:48 for the Lancaster B.III from Waltham with the personal name Phantom of the Ruhr and the code BQ-B.
Responsibility details are not available.
The British heavy bomber Avro Lancaster came out of the unsuccessful twin engine Manchester and became the most capable night bomber of the war. An uninterrupted bomb bay over nine meters long made it the only Allied machine able to carry even the heaviest bombs. The B.III version differed from the basic one in American Packard Merlin engines built under license; otherwise it was practically identical.
The set covers the aircraft with the serial designation EE139 and the personal name Phantom of the Ruhr, which according to the data flew in 1944 from Waltham in eastern England with the code BQ-B. The machine is among the best known Lancasters of all, because it became one of the few that survived considerably more than the average twenty operational flights. The artwork on its side with a demonic figure still appears on replicas and museum exhibits today.
The color base under a decal: Lancasters carried a very dark night gray on their sides and personal artwork darkens easily on it. It pays to apply a thin white base patch under larger colored motifs, slightly smaller than the decal itself. Opacity grows that way without a visible border appearing.
The night bomber offensive was largely anonymous work the public learned about only from dry reports. Personal artwork and rows of small symbols under the cockpit were therefore a way for the crews to make their own service visible at least on the skin of their own machine. A model with faithful markings preserves that layer of the story.
