The choice is difficult, but is the Short Sunderland really a bomber? I took my time but i couldn't resist to a big bomber!

Well - it carried bombs and/or depth charges so I think it fits the definition.

Lets see what Admin says!!

I love the idea of the Stirling Tug and Horsa Glider. That would be high on the awesometer!

It was designated as a Maritime Patrol Bomber so yep you're good with this one
I like the idea of the glider tug combo too... although that could turn out really big I guess?

Halifax - historical contributor - not over done in the model world. Done well it can stand out.

Interesting 8 votes so far - and fairly evenly split.
2 for the Blenheims
2 for the Dambuster Lancaster
2 for the Stirling plus Horsa
1 for the "ordinary" Lancaster
1 for the Halifax
So no clear winner yet.

I chose my pick by its name. Does that make me the weak link of the democracy? LOL!

No, no votes for the Handley Page 0/400......
Some of you must really like Whitelys though - now 4 votes! Got to admit a little (miniscule) bit of me was kind of hoping for the Blenheims due to space/storage considerations at the moment. Can't argue with 4 votes though.

OK - poll closed - we have a double build to do!!
First will be the Whitley.
When thats completed I'll move onto the Stirling + Horsa. I have a British jeep coming that will go well with the Horsa. Doing this one second as it will need a baseboard to make a diorama on.
Fingers crossed it all goes well & according to plan folks
