To make sure anyone don't mistaken this with nose-jewels or nose piercing, nose art is a decorative painting or design on the fuselage of a military aircraft, usually located near the nose, and is a form of aircraft graffiti. The decoration is unofficial and personal markings, the artist is often anonymous. Each set is presented in a custom tin replicating plane paneling. A certificate of authenticity comes with each set.
