Ian, have you ever thought to do diorama of say a lanc droping a dam buster? I've seen a diorama of an TBF Avenger dropping a torpedo. The support for the plane was contained in the splash. I believe you could do it.
You shall be baned from making Lancasters, your closet display will thank me, you shall now be burdened with making Spitfire squadrons, yes squadrons to fill up the space saved hehehehe
