These special tails for 323 Sqn, which has Diana "Godness of the Hunt" as squadron emblem, of the Royal Netherlands Air Force based at Leeuwarden in the north of Holland, were especially designed for the 60th anniversary in 2008-2009. The Summer tail with the Diana in bikini was going to applied for the air show season of 2008, starting with the big airshow at Leeuwarden AFB in June 2008.

This scheme was approved by several levels in the Dutch AF (a 6 month process) until only ONE week before the air show one general 'on the top' said "nyet" to the whole project.

The Winter scheme, designed for the actual 60th anniversary date in November 2008, was frozen also.

On popular demand, these tails are now released as a decal, in their original - uncensored - version.

As bonus this decal sheet contains also the Diana painted on the tail for the airshow in 2001 at Leeuwarden.

There's one full colour instruction sheet and two sets of reinforcement plates included in this set. The decals are available in three scales.

This sheet is also available in 1/72 and 1/144 scale although the 1/144 sheet has only the markings of J-248 and a limit amount of stencilling.

You can buy this decal sheet directly from the Daco Products website.  For you guys in the US, you can get this sheet from Twobobs.
