1) U.S.A.: Baltimore, Harpoon, C-46, C-54, Vengeance, Piper Grasshopper, Stinson sentinel

2) Great Britain: Beaufort, Walrus, Battle, Fulmar, Barracuda, Albacore, Anson, Tiger Moth

3) USSR: IL-4, SB-3, SU-2, MDR-6, Beriev KOR-1, MBR-2, PO-2

4) Italy: SM-81, SM-82, SM-84, RE-2001/02, Fiat G. 50, Cant Z 506

5) Germany: HE-115, DO-24, FW-189, JU-188, B&V 138


Am I and, probably, CC, the only guys who find such aircraft fascinating?

7) Bloch 174, Latecoere 298, Breguet 691, Arsenal VG-33

Nope, I agree with ya..... Baltimore's & Maryland's overlooked FAR too often, let alone Ventura's too

Apparently , the RAF 'museum' has one in storage (seen pictures & sweet it is, too !)

but doing 'em in die-cast would be (presumably) 'risky' for manufacturers !!!!!!!!

The Marlyand has some real good looking paint schemes too, that and I think it makes for a good looking light bomber.
