    I need to get this on the table (at first for more photo ops with other planes). Thank you Keith for making my Thanksgiving wish come true!

    Impressive!

    Pair it with a couple of silver P51s and the Battle over Europe can start.

    Freaking sweet, but would be better if we can see detail shots of it out of the box.
    I was waiting to buy these after the holidays but so tempted to buy now!!

    Why, Joaquim? If you keep spending enough, there won't be anything to put in that wallet but a scorched credit card

    If I have time tonight I will pose it in flight next to some Mustangs, maybe chasing something...

    Yes, please do. Alongside a medium bomber would be cool too!

    Getting the AA email some days ago and having very good experience with US-PL postal service so far, I expect my Belle to appear any day now

    I have had quite an interesting sequence of deliveries from the Oberst of late.
    An order placed just before he left for vacation was here on Monday, and yet one dispatched and postmarked on 30th October only arrived this morning. Three times as long! I don't think anything from AA has ever taken that long before. With four packs of magnets in it, I think it must have got stuck to the underside of a conveyor belt somewhere.

    That would be nice but doesn't look good for me making it next year.

    Very nice!! Thanks for posting this! Again, can't wait to get mine in the mail!

    Nice!!

    Frontal gun(s) arc: short AB - long AA - not bad

    The top turret gunner has a blind spot.



    Ten crew positions - perfect for optional crew damage management.



    50 damage points!



    Another detail:

    Seems the right & left gunner are able to change position if one of them is knocked out.


    The frontal firing arc has two crew members. I'm curious what the special rules are for a crew hit there.
