New N Scale WWII Nose Art Series!

First Release June 2014

This summer Micro-Trains will bring the highly requested WWII Nose Art Series to N scale! This series will feature a variety of WWII nose art on 40’ Containers carried on 50’ Flat Cars. Each container will be marked with the plane’s squadron number, group number, Air Force Division, number of missions and the division patch art. The container colors will be Oliver Drab or Aluminum depending on the color of the plane the nose art came from. The first release in the series will be the “Heavenly Body” container and flat car. The series will also include a locomotive and a caboose.

This 36’ riveted steel caboose with offset cupola is painted olive drab with gray cupola, and black roof. The grab handles are painted safety yellow. The sides bear the gold, white, red and blue logos of the United States Army Air Corps, the precursor to the U.S. Air Force. The Army Air Corps was, as the name suggests, originally part of the U.S. Army before becoming the forerunner for the newly formed USAF.
