Sugar's Blues Lancaster- Nose art/starboard side

[cathasatail]

Hi,

 

I was thinking of making my own decals to use on a 1:72 Lancaster: I would quite like to do the aircraft KB-864 of 428 sqn with the nose art of "Sugar's Blues".

However, I am unable to find an image of the starboard nose art. From this link it notes that "On the right side of the nose is a cartoon ghost holding a bomb and the text "Ghost SQD'N"

 

So does anyone have any "reasonable" resolution images of this additional piece of nose art?

 

Thanks,

Sam

Heres a Link. Scroll down the page and there are a few good images of this a/c.

Aha! That's exceedingly useful- however in the absence of any clearer images it would be very difficult to recreate digitally :|

This build will be a few weeks away from starting so I'll see if I can cobble an image together....

You could maybe ask them how they did it?

Hi,

I suspect they used the rare (as hen's teeth^TM) Zotz decals sheet. Thanks for that link though- it shows the ghost much more clearly and I can definitely work with that on photoshop!

 

Thanks,
