Cobra War Paint
Here is a picture of the new war paint applied to my car for the Le Mans Classic. As the "mission" involved an excursion into enemy occupied territory, I thought some appropriate artwork would be required.
Fannin' Fanny was an Avro Lancaster bomber from 427 squadron of the Royal Canadian Airforce that operated from RAF Leeming in the UK during WWII.
Here is a picture of the original artwork on the aircraft that I had recreated.
The small emblem is the squadron emblem and portrays a lion rampant in front of a maple leaf with the motto "Ferte Manus Certas", which translates as "Strike with a sure hand".
She proved to be very popular while I was in France.
