Bloody yanks copy everything.
This is a historic paint, showing Dakota NZ3503/M of RNZAF No.40 Squadron on Bougainville Island. NZ3503 had this noseart to show that they carried 'anything, anywhere, anytime', from military supplies to crates of beer. Flypast magazine of April 2026 has an item on the Dakota's of 40 Sqn. It seems the nose of 3503 still exists and is owned by the RNZAF museum.

Great post JK, I learn something new everyday ....thank you.

As you say there, Marty.
Although I prefer the look, I suspect the wing roundels didn't have an orange border.
