Back in 2014 vdejarnette ran a bomber campaign that drew a lot of interest. I'm wondering if it's time for part 2? Like the earlier build, this one would focus on purpose built bomber aircraft with two or more engines and two or more crew members from WWI thorough today. I'm thinking it would launch around March and, given the size of the subjects, would maybe run for a year.

What do you all think? Anyone interested?

Michael

Hmmm. There's more than a few bombers in the stash. Maybe one of them is small enough to fit on the shelf. B-25, B-26, B-57, B-66, maybe even a 1/44 B-1A?

Sounds good, I'm in.

That's a great idea! I've got some bombers waiting in the queue: He 111, He 177, Avro Lancaster from WWII.

Sounds tempting. What would the time window be? 2018 summer??

I have Do 17, the Heinkel 111, Betty and the DH Mosquito. oh and the Ju188. All 1/48, so count me in Michael

Stash list says a Do -17 would fit! So I am interested !

Oliver

Yep, 2018 suits me. I have a Ju 88 in 1/48 from Revell (ICM) which I want to build in finnish markings for some expos in Switzerland I will attend next year, so I would be in ....

Torsten

That's 7 so far, looking good! With this news I figured our friends in old Blighty would be interested in this one. I know what I'm going to do if we can get it launched!



Michael

Count me in.

So what is considered a bomber??? Not to be a PITA, but I've got some WWII twin engines I'm looking at, A-20, A-26 and maybe even a Ventura. They did drop bombs, but they're designated Attack and not Bomber...

I guess they were really kind of light bombers, so I'd say yes. Indeed, the A-26 was later re-designated B-26.

Michael

I think we have 9 here, one more to put us over the top. C'mon guys, you know you want to! Bombers...

Michael

Count me in Michael I've got bombers galore so I'd say it's time to break out the big boys!

And that's 10! As I have an in with the campaign admin ( ), it's already approved. You can view the rules and sign up here. Should be fun!

Michael

I'm in. Now I have till March to make a decision...

I've got a numer of possibilities but I think I'll build the 1/72 He177 Grief by Revell seems like a perfect chance to build it. Hmmmmm although I do have a couple of AMT A-20's which also seem to be calling me ...... maybe I could do both? I've got time to decide so I'm in no hurry but I can gaurantee one thing I'll probably change my mind ..... again. LOL

Chris,

I’d love to see that Greif build...not a very usual model on this pages.

I guess I’ll be tackling either de Do 17Z from ICM or Dragons Ju188 A, either one in the quarter scale and full of AM goodies.
March is just around the corner and gives me time to complete my build on the night shift campaign.

Cheers
Pedro

Wow I am in.

I have:
Lancaster
B-25
B-17
Vigilante
Arado Ar234

Maybe more in the shed

Pedro as you wish my friend He177 Grief it is!

This one?



I was thinking more about He 111, because Greif might be too difficult for me yet, but I am going to follow your build with huge interest.

Yup that's the one!

It will be an interesting model for sure. Hope you choose one of those unusual squiggle camouflages, Chris.

I’m considering one of those for my Ju.188 also.

Cheers
Pedro

I am in with a Dornier or a Heinkel in 1/48.

Looking forward to get started!

Is the F-15E allowed?

Franck,

I don't think so. I think the Strike Eagle is more a fighter-bomber, and it retains the F- designation. Sorry.

Michael
