Corgi CS90414 B-17G "Oh Hard Luck" 339th Bombardment Squadron.

From blonde bombshells to iconic characters and catchy names.

Corgi captures some of the memorable and eye catching nose art in the world.

During WW2, young airmen separated from home, family, loved ones and a familiar way of life often sought ways of escaping the harsh reality of war by personalising their aircraft with what has become known as nose art.

Humour, slogans, nicknames, cartoons, girls; all were used to bring a touch of light relief to their deadly day-to-day existence.

The unique feature of this collection is that the nose art not only appears on the model plane but on a faithfully reproduced larger scale die cast cut out section of the fuselage.

This nose art panel can be mounted on the enclosed display base with the model aircraft.

Intricately detailed die-cast model.

Plane Measures approx 4" wide. Comes complete with Display Stand and Nose Art panel.

Part of the Corgi "Nose Art" Series.

Highly Collectible.

Not suitable for children under 8
