Well I'm still recovering from spending more on a kit than I ever have before As you may have guessed from the title I've bought the the new issue of the Tamiya Lanc, and it looks very promising. One of the decal options is TW880/TL:F of 35 Sqn in the immediate post-war white over black scheme: this is the one I will be doing. 35 Sqn went on a goodwill tour of the US in summer 1946, and there is a video of it here www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzCFagp-7EM . At 44 seconds TL:F can be seen landing. Also noteworthy (please don't take this as a "nit-pick" of the kit, just sharing some info I've discovered to help anyone else contemplating this option*) is that the kit instructions show the prop spinners as black, whereas the video clearly shows them as white or another light colour. I think I'll go with white unless anyone knows better. * Don't you dare before I've done mine ;D

On the subject of 1:48 heavy bombers, has anyone seen a review of the new Revell B17, and how it compares with the Mongram kit?

They are both the same kit. Monogram have far superior instructions though.
