The newest Z scale series; the WWII Nose Art Series! This series features a variety of WWII nose art on 40’ Containers carried on 60’ Flat Cars. Each container is marked with the plane’s squadron number, group number, Air Force Division, number of missions and the division patch art. The container colors will be Oliver Drab or Aluminum depending on the color of the plane the nose art came from. Aviation nose art got its start early in the First World War when Italian and German pilots began personalizing their aircraft. Soon after, Allied Pilots began using a variety of symbols and illustrations on their aircraft as well and the practice continued to flourish into the Second World War. Everything from the smallest utility aircraft to the largest multi engine bomber was fair game. The first release in the series will be the “Belle Wringer” container and flat car. This 12 month series will also include a F7 A-unit and a caboose. Don’t miss out on this exciting series; contact your local dealer today!
