We sure don't see many 1/72 sheets from Aeromaster, and it is a shame as they do such nice ones. This particular sheet is in celebration of the Hasegawa 1/72 Lancaster kit that was released last year. It contains unique markings for four aircraft, all in Dark Green/Dark Earth over Black, and insignia for two aircraft.

First up is 'Mickey the Moocher' from 61 Squadron. This Mk III completed 204 missions.

Next is 'Oor Wullie' of 100 Squadron, which carried out a lot of jamming missions. This Mk I will need the large jammer antennas added.

Third is a B.III from 116 squadron with 118 mission marks. This and the previous aircraft have painted fuselage windows. This one carries the H2S radar.

Finally, a B. III from 57 Squadron that has red fins with a black band.

Though designed for the Hasegawa kit, I see no reason why you couldn't apply these to a Matchbox or Airfix Lancaster.
