This new decal sheet from Zotz Decals includes markings for 2 very special B-24's, one with sexy noseart and one with big cartoon noseart.  

Special thanks goes to Aleksandar Vasa for all his help making this decal sheet possible.  

The two B-24's on this decal sheet are both baremetal birds. 

  • B-24 "Ain't So Funny" with the 5th AF, 43rd BG, 64th BS is a baremetal aircraft with huge cartoon noseart features 18 different cartoon characters from the newspaper comics during WW2.  

  • B-24M-1-FO "POM POM EXPRESS" with the 5th AF, 380th BG, 51st BS is a baremetal aircraft with sexy noseart with the script "POM POM EXPRESS" above a partially nude beauty.  Other noseart includes Donald Duck holding a round black bomb with a lit fuse.  POM POM was a local Mindora (Philippine) euphemism for sexual intercourse.

The 2 pages of instructions are clear and include 3 color views of the aircraft.  The decals are beautifully printed on 4 decal sheets on the 1/48 sample I have before me.  The B-24 has always been one of my favourite aircraft and this sheets appeals to me quite a bit because of the sexy noseart as well as the very large cartoon artwork......it would be a tough decision to decide which one to build.

I would like to thank Zotz Decals for providing me with this review sample.
