One question Mike, you mention the "Luftwaffe isn't a shell yet" ... but as the GB is WWIII, not an extended WWII,
why would that matter?
D'oh!!! Thanks for saying that sir! Okay well even so my plan still works, the bad guys just change a bit
Let's go with a we fight the Soviets after WWII scenario (details later) so while the B-29s are pounding Russia the older bombers are be switched to training, transport, and maritime patrol roles. I like the idea of an arctic bird patrolling the frozen north looking for Soviet targets but having to deal with the Soviet AF at times so it needs protection.
I like the radar in place of the ball turret and the kit actually comes with it! Depth charges and Bats, full load of Ma Deuces and an arctic camo scheme.
Thinking two basic schemes involving white, light gray, gull gray and extra dark sea gray as the possible colors.
Scheme 1 is the standard USAF meaning the top and sides are all the same pattern while the bottom is solid white.
Scheme 2 is the standard RAF Shore Command meaning top is a pattern while sides and bottom are solid white.
Any thoughts gents?
