Now you're reminding me of my youth!!

. I well remember the Tamiya 1/48 Lancaster, I built mine as one of the B1 Specials with the 22000 pound grand slam bomb, impressive kit! The Revell Beaufighter was a beautiful kit, I haven't seen it in the shops for a long time which is sad as it builds into a lovely model. These days my kit building is not so active, with the availability of such nice diecast models it kind of makes me lazy, but it's still nice to see the results of our own efforts. About the Mosquito, I think the clear nose Bomber and PR variants look more elegant, but I also like that mean prize fighter look of the FB's, I can never decide which I prefer. Take care,

Justin

PS. the Sunderland is 1/144, can you imagine a diecast Sunderland in 1/72, that is a model I'd love to see!
