And don't forget, it's not only bombers, but after discussion it was extended to include any aeroplane in military service as long as it has a minimum of four engines. Be they with propeller or paraffin burners, or both...

Well I do have a B24 in the stash, but I bought some PE for it - I have no PE bending tool though so may need to visit the shop...

Already, I was hoping for a break after my Barrier. Oh well.......

I've got a 1/48 Lancaster and a B24D in the stash.Not sure which one I will do yet.

Would a He 177 qualify? Technically it does have 4 engines.....

I'd like to take part in this but as you can probably tell from my delayed Dakota's there is no chance of me keeping to this schedule.

I've only got an Airfix 1/72 Lancaster so I guess it will be that one

I've never really been interested in some of these early Cold War US jets but just lately my head is being turned by the classic look of these old jets so I'm looking forward to your build......there's no pressure!
