    I like the idea of a WW 2 bomber contest.

    Ooh, painting WWII bombers?
    I still have Wellingtons, Hampdens, Do17Zs, (all AIM) and Ju88s (Zvezda) in the to do box!

    Plus I've just received an FBA model H Flying boat, so we could do WWI seaplanes?

    I would be happier with a competition per release.

    Of course Keith may be too busy to run a contest, but it occurs to me that much of the work could be outsourced to a volunteer or two if tht was the issue.

    Could well be a goer, and take a bit of pressure off Keith.

    All right, wanna contest chaps? You will get it. Not a repaint contest but a contest of sort. Tomorrow I am going to announce my private contest with a black box with goodies as a prize. Shipping worldwide is on me. Anybody interested?

    Good idea. Any themed repaint is welcome. Maybe with slight advantage to WW2.

    If that is the question, then here is the answer!

    A new company that will release a line of WWI paints that are exact colour matches to those used in the era.

    Give in gently Mischa.
    If you fight it you will only end up with a hernia.
    Give in and you will end up with a Heinkel instead.

    "First Sergeant" was a war-weary Consolidated B-24D used to assemble large formations. Once the formation was formed up, this aircraft returned to base
