- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Got me thinking who the "Love interest" is  ;)
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

The pilot's having an affair with an English dutchess, played by Bette Midler.

In the mid-1960s? She was born in 1945 and had
barely started her career in musical theatre.

Now you're confusing the issue with facts!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Is the Ball turret going in ?

The gunner is going to have a spectacular view of the bomb release and the splash  ;D

Nah, Joan Collins would be a better choice, she was
working in Hollywood in the '60s.

Got to be someone American playing the love interest though, just to get the Hollywood BS meter up to 11....

No, don't argue, it was Diana Rigg.  Don't forget it was an American movie filmed in California with the Salton Sea and the Hoover Dam standing in for the Ruhr dams.
