Unusual in that don't see Stirling OOB or kit-bash builds.   Looking quite natural.  :smiley:

Very nice, looks very good and "together".  So, will we see a Stirling with a Superfortress wing, then?  Given your tastes, I'd wager it will be in blue.

Stirling being larger of RAF bombers is logical choice for B-29 wing.   Tricycle gear or tail dragger ?

providing for slightly longer wings,

but even less spectacular than the previous one
(but then maybe it makes it more tricky to detect?)





so I added a few bananas (miniature, plastic) to spice it up, using the tractor in the kit

Definitely something different by way of a streamlined steam locomotive.  I could see that "cab-forward" configuration working anywhere there were a lot of mountains to tunnel through.

Steam-driven supercharger for all four engines?  It looks like one of those odd experiments tried when all options are being explored.

Tricycle biplanes is another different twist on models.   Good start.   Interesting to see what follows.

Don't recall a RW one.    Maybe a couple I missed.
