Markings of two Avro Lancaster night bombers in 1:72 scale. The first belonged to No. 9, a British squadron with the code WS, and carried the name Goofy. The second flew with the Polish crewed No. 300 Squadron from Faldingworth and had art of a lady in a champagne glass on the nose.

The Lancaster was the backbone of the British raiding effort and its long bomb bay took a load no other European type could match. The sheet offers two subjects, with a year of the war's development between them. The older of them, a B.III with serial number ED666 and the code WS-G, flew in June 1943 with No. 9 Squadron and the crew painted a figure with the name Goofy on its fuselage.
The second machine, a B.I with the number LL804 and the code BH-F, belonged in 1944 to No. 300 Squadron, which was made up of Polish crews serving under British command, and operated from the airfield of Faldingworth in Lincolnshire. Its decoration was a lady sitting in a champagne glass, that is a motif that appeared on heavy bombers more often than today's view of night raids would expect.
Anyone building a night bomber will appreciate that both subjects carry standard British national insignia. The artwork on the nose of the second machine deserves special attention, because it is exactly that which turns a model into a particular aircraft and not just a type. The colors have the typically low British contrast, so even after a matte top coat they stay legible without looking like stuck-on paper on the fuselage. A kit has to be bought separately; the sheet holds exclusively printed elements.
