I have been shown a picture of one of this kit's decal options , it depicts NZ426 EY-G with a Tiki emblem as nose art . I believe the serial should read MZ426 . Does anyone know more about this 78 Sqn aircraft or it's Kiwi connections ?

Peter Wheeler and I were asked about this very aircraft and the model recently on the New Zealand Bomber Command Association's Facebook page which we run. Peter found this photo of the aircraft and crew:  We have not found anything more yet but Mark Drinkall, who originally asked the question, was going to check into the ORB's and contact Airfix and get back to us, but we've not heard anything more yet. |

Thanks for that , the Airfix picture would appear to have the nose art about 1/3rd bigger and no bomb log . I look forward to more info coming to light .
