This is definitely good news. The Stirling was every bit as important as the Lancaster in WWII, but, has not received near the same attention from the kit manufacturers.

that looks like it will be a nice kit

Glad to see this! Yes, the Stirling has been ignored.

Hi there While it's great to see a neglected aircraft finally getting some attention again, going by those shots, the rivets look they were done with a road drill... All the best Rowan

The Stirling was a victim of RAF thinking in the late 30's. Her wingspan had to fit into a standard hanger therefore could not exceed 100 ft, this compromised the wing area and consequently performance. She was also limited in the bombs she could carry due to the narrow bomb bays. Even so, the Stirling was the first 4 engined 'Heavy' to reach service.

Trumpeter's Mad Riveter has an Italian cousin?

in the 70/80 years, Italeris surfaces have raised, but subtle lines, now they have trenches with bullet holes, for me not a step foreward :-( Bernd

I am all over this. Nice! Ian
