Would love to see you join us with either one of those entries Graham. I just posted this thread for the information of those who haven't done a GB before. Though it starts tomorrow, you can enter any time, as long as you finish by the scheduled end of the GB.
I have the following all in 1:72 scale. JU88A-4, Ju86B-2, He115C-1,He119. The He 115 not sure if that really qualifies as a bomber, The He119 was sort of intended as a light fast bomber but never made it into production. Then of course there's the Enola Gay B-29. Definately would like to join, first time for everything !
The He115 was probably more Marine reconnaissance and torpedoes. The He119 they did build, even a float version but it was an oddity and more experimental than anything. Definitely a bizarre aircraft if anything !
The He 51 is done. Doing the stays with EZ Line was a snap once I got all the wing struts sorted out. Now I'm kind of thinking of digging the Swordfish, Gladiator and Fury out of the RAF graveyard of kits I built as a kid and having a go at them !
Have both versions myself (we seem to share the same interests actually - everything you've posted recently I have in the stash!)
The words I most associate with the B-2 are 'filling' and 'sanding', though as you said, the detail is fantastic.

I like the Luftwaffe aircraft. When I was a kid a friend of mine and I started a collection, He, Axis air craft, myself Allied starting with the RAF . I was always a bit jealous though of the so many iconic German planes and different camouflage patterns. I mean how far can you take Flat Earth Brown and Olive Drab Green ? When I picked up the hobby again some 20 years ago it was German all the way ! I still have most of the RAF collection in various states of disrepair and layers of dust.
I know the feeling Graham!
Apart from random things I like, I have 2 main themes - the NZPAF/ RNZAF, and the Deutschen Luftwaffe, 1936-45.
As I would need 3 lifetimes to build one of each type used by both, I decided a couple of years ago to concentrate on the RNZAF. Problem is the Luftwaffe types are so damn interesting, and keep sneaking into the collection!!!
