I dont know but my guess is that its because of
The messerschmitt 262 was fast thats its virtues.
And the P-61 was a good interceptor.

the lancaster kicks ass · 03-27-2005, 01:01 PM

but anything could turn inside a -262 and whilst speed is vital in a dogfight, so is manouverability.............

and there are far better intorcepters than the -61...........

toffigd · 03-27-2005, 01:18 PM

Sure there are better ones than the P-61, but no one said you have to pick the best ones. I choose my favourites (note the Battle, Morane and Defiant

- rather worst than the best :P ).

Gnomey · 03-27-2005, 03:49 PM

I choose them because I like them, as toffigd has said. They may not be the best, I could say others, I was considering the Heinkel HE-219 "Uhu" for night interceptor or the Ta-152 for interceptor but I prefered the 2 I choose.

mosquitoman · 03-27-2005, 04:36 PM

Heavy Bomber- Lancaster
Medium Bomber- Whitley
Light Bomber- Mossie
Dive Bomber- Skua (only because I'm building a model of one at the moment)
Fighter-Bomber- Thunderbolt
Long-Range Fighter- P-51

Nightfighter- Mossie
Seaplane- Catalina
Carrier Fighter- Firefly
Carrier Bomber- Dauntless
Multirole Bomber- B-25
Multirole Fighter- Tempest

toffigd · 03-27-2005, 04:44 PM

Ah yes, Skua looks nice for me, especially in pre-war natural aluminium colour

And I'm building a model of it as well.

mosquitoman · 03-27-2005, 04:46 PM

That's the same colour scheme, I'm doing! Which manufacturer made your kit? Mine's Earstern Express

toffigd · 03-27-2005, 05:16 PM

Mine kit is a Polish one - Chematic/Aga (I bet you didn't know such

), the serial number of Skua will be L8228 if I remeber well.

mosquitoman · 03-27-2005, 05:20 PM

Mine's L2933
