    Another good 'find', Zoe! You realise now that everyone will want a model to use in the game?

    HBM make one. But you need to manufacture the struts holding the nacelles to the fuselage yourself, the resin ones supplied are too fragile to be used as anything other than a template. Here's some 223.3 models (same configuration, different nose and tail fins)

    There are tail struts on the 223.4 version too, but they're easy.

    From that head-on view the fusrlage looks very much like a Bristol Freighter!

    Maybe the same bomber design philosophy as that behind the B-24 Liberator, and the lot of UK bombers? Put wings on a boxcar/goods wagon, and carry as much load over the target as you can.

    Just watched the film Zoe, and then saw that you had put where we could read the sub titles.
    I think it lost some of its poignancy the second time.
    The french was better.
    Thanks for flagging this up.
