Who says a bomber can't have tracks.

That's right tracks on a bomber :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Terry :woohoo:

To get an idea of how big that thing was, look at the second picture, you can see the shadow of a man at the lhs gear. And I think he's actually standing on the tracks so he may look a little taller.

I have the 1/72 model of the B-36 and a 1/72 Abrams tank. You could park two M-1's side by side on the wing root of a B-36. Now that's big!!

Re:BOMBER COMMAND

who says tanks cannot fly?

to clarify my standpoint: my enthusiasm for a flying thingy gb here on tnt is very limited but that doesn't mean that we cannot have one here! that's what i wanted to point out with "there seems to be demand" ...

here's a deal: bring me ten players and we have a bomber command gb running!

(hmmmmm ... since the FI-282 carried 2 5kg bombs, would that qualify this coolest looking helicopter as a bomber?)

Re:BOMBER COMMAND

Well we still have not had an absolute ruling from Mr. T. on the definition of a Bomber. I would say if the aircraft was build intended to be a bomber/dive bomber, torpedo bomber, then it's fair game. But what about the WWI aircraft that were adapted for bombing roles?

Terry, I think you need to make yourself clear here..

Oh I know that Laura :laugh: We can't have a GB for just two people. Ten player is a fair number. So Pup the gauntlet has been thrown down. I guess it will be up to us to drum up some business.

Sorry I didn't see this post earlier. To clarifiy what I mean as to bomber type. Any plane whose intended mission was to be a bomber whether it be level, dive, or torpedo. However in WW I there are pictures of planes with racks of grenades on the side. In this case the particular plane with picture documentation would be required to be accepted into the build. In WW II many fighter planes could be fitted with bombs, but their intended purpose was not in the bomber role which I think would exclude them from the build. Finally my intent was showcase military aircraft which would exclude civilian uses for some of the same aircraft (sorry Sherman).

Hi there it could have been worse given the title of the GB. When I first saw "Bomber Command" I thought the GB was limited to British aircraft as the bomber segment of the Royal Air Force was called Bomber Command.

This will give me a reason to finally build that Airfix Handley Page 0400 kit I have.
