I was thinking a RB-57 version with the really long wings. Will have to do a bit of research as to kit availability and records of plane, unit, crew. I have to stop watching you tube videos. I saw the a/c last night and thought what a cool plane and maybe a good kit. Time will tell:

1:72 RAAF 'bou that I've been putting off for a couple of years. Not that I don't want to do it, I can't wait, but I want to do it justice and don't trust myself!

I am assuming transport includes all eras? Otherwise, I'll have to buy something!!

I have entries ready that fit the time frame indicated, but I wonder if we could loosen them up to include cold war stuff. I personally like to see the variety of aircraft that people come up with.

Both sound good to me !!! Ooooooh... I like surprises !

I was going to do an O1-E "Bird-Dog"... but that may not come to pass

If I can find inspiration and plans to that P-38F-4-LO, I'll do Peterson's #98, otherwise I'll do a Coastal Command PBY Catalina!

What sort of plans are you looking for Jan, asymmetric. Also check out the other GB17 thread started by Bill, I posted some stuff for you.


Edit. I see you have just been there.

I am thinking I'm gonna wait for some officialdom to step in here. I've got a 1/48 Typhoon that can be converted to a photo/recon bird or a 1/48 U-2 Senior Span if all hell breaks loose.
