That 'twin' A-10 is something special with a very 'organic' look about it. It (for some reason) makes me think of those two headed snakes that occasionally turn up

Love the Lanc and the Arado - I like the M4 but personally I feel the panel lines spoil it a little, but that is just my taste, others disagree

I've had the same idea for a Lanc. I also have that book, but I don't recall any mention of luftwaffe Lanc's in it.

Greg

oh they get mentioned Greg, In the bit just after Britain surrenders. Commondered Lancs flown from eastern germany against Russian industry east of the Urals. Escourted all the way by Mossies.

That book along with Project Cancelled was what got me into the whiff feild of modelling.

There's some nice stuff in those Lafayette models. Especially like the Me P1101 (? off the top of my head) and the "baby" Panzer - up-gunned and re-engined Lynx ?
