BT, bombers are bombers, and Blenheims and Bostons are bombers, so....
Funny, I was thinking of a 1/48th scale Boston!
And those women in my town, they're all descended from a strange creature (aren't they all?), and go by the collective name of Hippocroccofrogs!

4 is all I could decide on...great selection though!

Since heavy hitter is in the Bomber choice, I'm going to assume it means the fat bastards like the B-17G, the Lanc, the B-29 and anything that could dump a serious load?

Cheers Terry, at this rate I'll be building a Boston for MTO from the looks of it!

May I suggest to those who couldn't decide on a 5th choice to choose 'Under a Different Flag' - I think Marcel would agree. Get other countries in the build besides the usual ones.

Anyone up for a Swiss Bf 109?

Bl*sted! I couldn't decide.... Well, here's my fiver in no particular order;
Anti Shipping. ("Black Cat" Catalina.)
Freezing Hell, Northern Europe/Winter War. (Swedish volunteer fighter squadron F22, Gloster Gladiator, Finnish-Russian Winter War.)
Red Stars, VVS. (Don't know yet.)
Korean War, '50-'53. (Douglas Skyraider and Possible a Corsair or Sabre.)
Cold War Protagonists, '49 - '89. (Don't know yet.)
I put what I'd build within ()....

Edit: Will we be doing like the "winner" of this poll, the choice with most votes, will be the GB built first, after PTO and BoB, then the GB with the second highest of votes built second and so on...?

All sounds good to me! Just thought, I'll have some 1/32nd scale Dutch and Belgian decals left over from the Hunter - Look great on Spitfires!

I got my five in. I was kind of amazed to see a class of armor not listed, the kind that floats, ships!

Other than that, I will wait to see what happens.

Difficult painting ships - all that water spoils the paint!
Good point though, for those that want ships etc. Know nothing about them, but wouldn't mind doing a RAF Rescue Launch, if the old Airfix kit is available.
