As for the USAAF's  "obsessively and stubbornly pedantic") classification structure for Light, Medium and Heavy Bombers." I laughed till my ribs ached.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D


Ditto.  ;D  ;D

Ditto, again...  ;D  ;D

I'm awaiting a response from the committee chairwoman...

:mellow:

Tophe (was it?  it's gone over the page) - this is all from my warped imagination along with some suggestions from Flyer (biplane tail was his idea for example).  Flyer has pointed me in this direction though.

It's a Witteman-Lewis XNBL-1 Barling Bomber which while it wasn't in my head while building does ring a bell or two so and may have been in my subconscious.

Barling designed the Tarrant Tabor in England some years before he did the XNBL-1 which looked very similar. Perhaps some of his UK design team jumped ship to H-P?

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! :)

This is so many different kinds of awesome!  :bow:
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Thanks everyone for all the nice words.  Stop it now please as my head is big enough as it is and I don't want to have to widen the doorways.
