Hello all

In preparation for the HK Models Lancaster, I have decided on markings from
a Royal New Zealand Air Force squadron, however I cannot find markings for this aircraft and particular squadron other than 75 squadron but even then I'm not sure
if I'm looking at the right markings.

Can anyone confirm the necessary markings for any RNZAF squadron for a Lancaster
during 1939-1945?

Thanks all

Alan

Finding colour photos might be difficult.

Hi Rich

That's great! Just what I'm looking for.

I'll probably have to have the markings made but this is my dedication to the RNZAF and their part during the war so it's important I get it right!

Cheers.

Alan
