Decals in 1:32 for the Canadian built Avro Lancaster B Mk.X of No. 419 Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Force, the machine KB772 with the code VR-R from the spring of 1945.
Responsibility details are not available.
During the war the British Lancaster was also built on the other side of the Atlantic, in a factory near Toronto in Canada, and machines from there were given the designation B Mk.X. They were flown mainly by Canadian squadrons in the make-up of No. 6 Group, and one of them was No. 419 Squadron, nicknamed after the moose in its badge. The example KB772 with the letters VR-R belonged to its machines at the time the unit was operating from the airfield of Middleton St George in northern England. The spring of 1945 meant the last weeks of night raids for the crews of the Canadian squadrons, followed by supply flights and the journey home.
A large letter on the side of the fuselage is treacherous on a night bomber: matte black paint usually has a rougher surface than smooth metal areas, and it is precisely on it that a silvery veil easily forms under the film. The solution is a layer of gloss varnish under every marking and plenty of water while settling it. Once dry, unify the sheen with a deep matte layer, otherwise the artwork will show through on the dark fuselage at a different angle from its surroundings. The underside of the fuselage deserves attention too: on night machines it was painted a special deep black that absorbed searchlight beams, and the paint on it quickly went gray with fading. A gentle transition to a grayer shade therefore benefits a model more than sharp edges.
