OK by me.

It's a bomber and if the SB2C was going to be ok I don't see why not, Although GB 41 is War in the Pacific, so I am holding the SB2C for 41.
I would say a bomber is a bomber. I agree with Terry.

I assume it's a purpose-built bomber so yes.

Thanks guys. I need something quick and easy before I tackle the (groan) Mistel
my question for this GB, medium and light bombers would also enter this GB ?.
for example the b-26 marauder, a-20 havoc / boston, ventura, b-25, a-26 invader, the caproni, SM89 marsupile, heinkel 111, ju 88, dornier 17 or 217, pe 2, su2, il2m3, sb3, db3, haviland mosquito, barracuda, blenheim mk iv ......, this field can be very extensive, is this how it is contemplated ?, not only the heavy bombers?

Yep, all those sound fine. If the aircraft was designed and built as a bomber, then it would qualify. Not allowed are fighter planes that carried bombs (eg P-47, Fw190, Typhoon, etc.).

Just ordered the Eduard canopy masks for the kit. The build just got a lot easier
hmmm, will see how things go and i might jump in with one of my ICM kits, Do17, Ju 88 or He 111

Would be a treat to see you back with a build Karl.
yep i need to start up again, get my specs tomorrow so might be able to see properly again, so that should help !
as usual December is a busy month for me at work so if things go my way, might start in November and pick up again in January when the silly season is finished.
He 111 and Ju 88 are favorites as i have two subjects with a local connection in mind.
Hope you can make the time Karl......fingers crossed.
Doing the Pe-2 as my primary....and maybe an il-2m3 Sturmovik as well....
