Nice one Fred: this deserves an Oscar, never mind a Whiffie... ;D  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:

Nice to see good use made of the Upkeep: now I'll have to do something decent with the Lancaster it came off. :thumbsup: 

Any objection to me posting some pics and the backstory on Twitter ("X":rolleyes:)? I can think of a few people who'd get a chuckle out of that. (Hushkit and Dan Snow for starters...)

Perhaps a Tiger Force (extended range) Lancaster with   the "Big Bloke" bomb destined for Kokura?

multiple torpedoes in a rotary launcher ?

take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances.

Best Backstory of the Year.

It will take something even more crazy to know this one out of a Whiffie.

There is already a plan in place (a couple of them, actually)... ;)

No worries, go for it mate.

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

Okay, the deed is done: https://x.com/hws5mp/status/1812918741791089050   :wacko:

(I did some minor editing on the backstory as I reformatted it, but nothing that changed the sense of it - hope that's okay?)

All that's missing is the oft used crash of an F9F Panther that seems to be every naval aircraft from a Helldiver to a Tomcat and everything in between...

Waiting for the 'X-ers' to weigh in on how it's inaccurate to the Hollywood movie version, because of... take your pick/best guess...  ;D  ;)

Even continentals can ignore who she was... ;D
Thanks for the lnk.

One of the best (maybe the best) backstory I have read. And beautiful build.

Yeah mate, all good.  But if it ends up being used to train AI...


...then we're all in trouble.   :unsure:

Something like a Tarzon Tallboy? Obviously a more British version with a different tail arrangement to fit under the Lanc.

Interesting idea, but I already had a plan for the Lanc, which is why the Upkeep was spare in the first place.
