 | 1) nothing is better looking than the lancaster (as far as WWII goes) 2) french bombers are very atractive................

| The wings are the only good bit, as are the engines on the Mk.II. Everything else is hideous. |

| the later radials are very pretty .rotary models looked good but having the cylinders whizzing round instead of the crank shaft made them a tad prone to viiiiiiiibraaaaation problems but the gyroscopic effect gave planes like the spad brilliant turn circles but only in one direction |
