Nude markings for the Monogram B-25s have been
dismal, but that has now changed. With the release of the “Dukes of
Hazzard” and Jessica Simpson in her Daisy Dukes you have wanted to
pay homage to her. Here is your chance.
Before there was Daisy Duke there was Daisy Mae from the Lil’ Abner
comic strip. The latest release from the PYN-up series has “Lazy
Daisy Mae” on a B-25J assigned to the Air Apaches. It has a glass
gun nose with Daisy Mae on the right side. Daisy Duke is a direct
descendant of Daisy Mae.
The other aircraft is a B-25H that was the personal transportation
of Brig. Gen. Orde Wingate. The nose art is a nude with the name,
“Erotic Edna” in yellow. The aircraft sports five angled stripes on
the fuselage.
You get national markings for one airplane.
Typical of the PYN-up decals, they are thin, opaque, and in perfect
register. You must follow the instructions as the decals are very
thin and can be fragile.
Highly Recommended
