Winter 2009 - Another British Bomber + Bonus by Anigrand (update)



Winter 2009 - Another British Bomber + Bonus by Anigrand
===========================================

Sperrin bomber prototype, the v-bomber insurance!
I must say, it does not have the striking graceful lines of the other 3 classic V-Bombers!

    Never much of a fan of the Sperrin - remind me of a Short's earlier Stirling with jets instead of props.

    But I'll be getting one just to have a 1/144 Javelin in my collection....

    I agree its not pretty, and I see where you are coming from with the WWII bomber with jets on angle...

    but, maybe not a sterling, it doe have a smack of DC-* or convair about it?

    I think it would look more "natural" with some merlin's or turbo props under those wings, whether it would look like a bomber or a transport?
