I found this picture on Pinterest earlier today. This was from a Buzzfeed article that featured "Superhero Pinups, Aircraft Nose Style", which you can see here.

I like it...though I wonder what it would have been like if these had been actual WWII bomber art, considering Gatchaman's a Japanese creation!

I remember this picture! IIRC, I got it on a postcard at SDCC. it's a beautiful piece, and fits so nicely!

Yes! I remember this, too! Love this! It inspired me to try a nosecone art piece, too...only my swan had less clothing on...the guys enjoyed it! Haha...

Thanks for sharing!

I hadn't seen this picture before. I like the little Turtle King with the bombs.

I've never seen this picture before either, but I love the bombs and the little turtle king! Given the background, I'm guessing that this was the picture on the Godphoenix (just behind all the red)? And if that's the case ... I'd love to see what picture is on the nose of Ken's jet fighter! lol

Part of it finds me hard to picture Ken with pin-up art on his jet (or allowing it on the GP). Joe and his car, however ...

Hey, he agreed to fly that horrible Eagle Sharp, not to mention the Gatcha-Chicken! I'm sure he would have preferred this Jun picture instead.

I really can't see Nambu allowing this, either. Maybe I've got fanon on the brain, but I'm seeing his reaction as involving neck veins popping.
