Good Evening,
I'm much more of a Cold War/Modern aircraft modeller, but a good friend of mine from Sweden wants to build the aforementioned aircraft. He visited the site where it lays in the bogs of northern Sweden and has the Hasegawa "Special Missions" boxing of their Lancaster kit.
It was damaged during the Tirpitz raid and the crew made a forced landing in Sweden where all survived. They torched the aircraft as best they could, but the remains of the Lancaster are there to this day.
The difficulty is the decals, I can do up the artwork but would need references to base it on. After sitting out for decades, and the crews attempts to destroy the aircraft there is not too much to go on for the nose art. Internet searches just come up with recent photos. Are there any books out there, or archive images of this aircraft that my fellow modellers know of?
Cheers, and thanks,
Hoops
