That looks pretty neat ! Always a fan of that paint scheme. The turret doesn't have many options tho  :thumbsup:

... and a heavily reinforced wing, as I kinda doubt the DB-7/A-20 series would
be able to carry torpedoes of that size on the outer wings. The ones that carried
torpedoes carried them on the belly.

Turret looks bog-standard A-20G, so why would it not have 'many options'?

Maybe because there's a giant tail behind it and wires in front and above it ? Doesn't look like it has much of a field of fire.

I thought that was a B-25 at first!
I don't recognize that paint scheme, is that coastal command? Instead of torpedoes a load of rockets or depth charges would be cool.

Not certain if we already had THIS supersonic/stealthy/Batman B-52 version (probably from Australia), but it has some serious appeal? Sorry for the pic's size!




And then there's this pretty Tigercat (Scalefest 2012)...  :wub:

That black beast is an EB-52 Megafortress from Dale Brown's books IIRC.

One of the later "rebuilds" I should think.  The first one from Flight of the Old Dog still had all 8 engines

That's why I said an EB-52 and deliberately didn't mention the first book....................
