While working on the cockpit and adding the intrument placards, I found this humorous message linked to Peter Jacksons side projects
Decal no 38 is a navigators memo to be postitioned on the map board. I used my zoom function of my digicam to get the exact position of the decals. While checking the decal #38 I found this:
The text is partially in german language:
"Hinweise auf Graeben
2 km westlich von Artillerie"
-------------------------------------------------------
"Suche Standort fuer den Herr der Ringe Teil 4"
------------------------------------------------------------
"Pick-up ein paar Bier fuer die Jungen"
In translation:
"Hints for ditches
2 km west of artillery"
------------------------------
"Searching for location for Lord of the Rings part 4"
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Pick-up some beers for the boys"
Well that's humor! Hats off Peter Jackson!
