He ain't heavy..twin prop bombers ** Complete/Archived **

Wikipedia suggests yes....

Excellent. So when it landed on my head it was an omen

[DazDaMan]

Did it land on the three 6s?

Room for one more? Got nothing on for Jan and just realised I got a Revell (Hasegawa) B-25 in stash

I went back to page 1.
This was started by Chris and he only ruled out fighter bombers. No other criteria is discussed or set out except 'pure bombers'. He didn't say if they had to be still active in that role or not.
So on that basis I must say your CC Hampden is IN
and I look forward to seeing it. I think it suits CC colours.

I'll PM everybody just a few days before this starts.

Cool! Thanks, Fred.

I think I know what my entry will be, then.

Or maybe not! I spent an hour hunting for one of the two I remember buying (the second by mistake) in the loft last night and can't find it. Dang it! Did I sell both a few years ago, or not . . . ?

I'll look again, but at the moment, one of our bombers is missing!

Despite vowing to build only from the stash, I found a Hampden at the LMS, so we're back on Plan A!

Would the Beaufort qualify as I've found one lurking in the stash? It literally fell on my head when I tried retrieving another kit from the top of a shelf. Forgot I had it.

Yup, it fits in. Its been a long time since I've seen a built Beaufort model.

Always room for one more, Welcome.

I love it when a plan comes together.

Ho Ho
This is the one I have in mind almost literally

Looking forward to seeing this built. Got a Special Hobby one in the stash I've had for a while so may give me incentive

Just ten days till this one starts.
Hope everyone has got their chosen twin prop bomber kit at the ready.

I have several but I think it'll be the Beaufort. If I have a change of heart it'll be an A26 Invader. Might be both

[DazDaMan]

Heinkel 111 for me.

Rad!

Gotta love a Mitchell.

I'm not sure how I'll manage the paintscheme on my Tupolev, but I'm definitely still in.

So, as I was getting the kids' presents out of the loft last night, I had another rummage around (for a Sword P-40K of all things) and guess what. Yep, I found the Hampden from the stash! So, do I build the two of them, or exchange one for a Do17 and build one of each? I'm thinking the latter, but what do you advise?

Martin
