OK here's a disclaimer!
Before you read on this will be a what if model like 90% of my models are.
So the plan on this model is to "copy" the RAF's idea surrounding BBMF Lancaster PA474.
The only difference will be my attempt at representing as many Halifax's as feasibly possible.
That and the Righthand side will also have multiple nose arts.
This Halifax will be LV907, good start!
Her lefthand side will be Friday the 13th NP@F.
Her Righthand side however is something a little different!
She will carry the nose art just behind the nose glass from B.III NZ426 - EY@G
The nose art under the main cockpit windows from B.I L9530 - MP@L
And the 3 letter code and roundel from B.II SRS.I L9618 NF@W
The Righthand Tail will have 3 horizontal Yellow stripes from NR169 HD@T.
And lastly she'll have D-Day stripes to commemorate all the Halifax Glider tugs that took part in the Normandy Landings.
