Thanks mate. I wouldnt bet against it. There's already some aftermarket out there. Valuegear do some stowage and I've seen a 5 man crew set made up of US Army personnel. 4 Sitting infantry and a standing MP.

I fancy the Bomber SIG but the kit I want to build has only just been announced and may not be out in time. ICM have just announced a 1/48 B26 Marauder and I really fancy it. My other option is Tamiya's 1/32 Mosquito Fighter Bomber but that is a massive project! :o :shock:

Well - if you are gonna go big - go Border Models 1/32 Lancaster!! 🤣🤣
(I suspect we may need a dedicated build for that in future.....)
