caudleryan Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) I was thinking this might be a fun group build. The heavy bombers had their shot of fame before, but what about the medium/tactical bombers? Like the B-25, B-26, A-26, Camberra/B-57, Il-28, ect? Would anyone be interested in something like this? I'm still thinking about the rules and what not, but it shouldn't be too difficult. Let's hear your thoughts. RYAN. Edited April 11, 2013 by caudleryan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gonzalo Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I have an F-111 I would like to build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shawn M Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) NM I'm an idiot...A-6 does not equal A-4 Edited April 12, 2013 by Shawn M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caudleryan Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Modern too like the F-117, A-6, f-105, etc? Yes, I think that would qualify as a tactical bomber. The reason I am including tactical bombers is that by the end of WW2, newer, smaller designs could carry just as much as medium bombers could. By the time the Korean War broke out, the term medium bomber was practically obsolete. So, an F-105 could carry as much as a B-25(or B-17 for that matter). What about fighter/attack planes like the F/A-18 or F-15E? I don't know, I haven't thought too much about those. Hmmm, all of this thinking is making my head hurt. RYAN.

Spokane-Modeller Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Im in got a 1/32 F-105G im dyin to build Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caudleryan Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 That would be awesome! You don't really see too many of those being built. I'm in with either an A-26 Invader or B-26 Marauder. RYAN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EX_Birdgunner Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Depending on timeframe I could be in with a Revell B-25J with AM decals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Litvyak Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I could get into this with an F-111 or a B-18... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Have some A-6s. (Which might get built in the up coming Grumman GB) How about a plane designed as a Medium bomber but used for other stuff? Have two B-25s I would like to make as Canadian multi engine trainers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caudleryan Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 I'll have to think about that one, Shawn. I'm going to try to keep this one as simple as possible. The last group builds I hosted turned out to be a lot more complicated term-wise than I wanted. RYAN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 A-10 would be a medium/tactical bomber also no? Although there is a Hog GB coming up. Either way I've been holding onto a F-117 and an A-6 as some of the last aircraft kits I have so I'd be keen to do either one of those. Probably the stealth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arnobiz Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Would be in with an F-16 :) Arnaud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark M. Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I like the idea. I've got a B-25C and a Ju-188, though for me the main issue would be finding the working space. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
