What's this other twin you speak of I know they are doing a DB-3 as well.

 

[Sharkmouth]

I know they are doing a DB-3 as well.

Yes, but that is not the one with the huge range of markings...

If it is a 1/48 Japanese twin or a B-18 Bolo, or B-23 Dragon I will do a happy dance :geek

No, this one was widely used, exported, saw combat in many theaters and several variants with different engines.

Hmm, well you got me stumped to even begin to think what it will be. :hmmm With the huge amount of markings I wouldn't think Soviet because their stuff always seems to be a bit bland. Guess I'll just have to wait

Guess I'll just have to wait

I expect the announcement for first quarter of 2014.

Hahahahaha :laugh: now that you mention it........... I watched a Russian war drama on Utube a few years back, which was about the social goings on in a torpedo squadron around a certain historical event, that has since been pulled due to copyright issues, that used real Il-4's. The exteriors of these planes was painted black, apparently to match the Black and White sequences of WWII movie clips used in the film, which were mostly clips WWII British Blenhiems although the actual planes used by the squadron the story is based on happened to be Hampdens apparently, and they did fire these planes up and taxi them around in the movie. Since the actual movie was filmed in colour I will tell you that I won't care what the instructions or anyones else says, I'm painting the interior of mine green
