Country:  | well the one CC posted doesn't because it's an RAF example, the model in question being a HC.3 of 23 Squadron based at RAF Benson i believe, the Royal Navy use the anti-submarine HM Mk.1, and in this picture you can clearly see the large Blue Kestrel radar under the nose........

| I Tried to read all fourteen pages, but I ran out of patience at page six. Both models are gorgeous, but the Dora is the more beautiful, and much cooler as well.
Don't get me wrong, I'd give your right arm to fly either one, But if I had Cubic Dollars, and could buy whatever I wanted, I would have Dora in my Hangar. | |

Country:  | Bullshit, dont listen to the Lanc, he's just pissed that sooooo very many of his beloved Lancasters went down in sheets of flame to the Dora....
The Dora is sexier than the Anton, period... Bomber fan opinions mean nothing except jealousy....

Country:  | I'm an Anton fan too as well as a Lanc lover (the bomber  ), so I guess you can count me in on the jealousy club. 
And here all this time I thought I just had good taste. 
Ah well. | |

Country: | I like the lanc aswell, although the 'A' looks meaner I still prefer the Dora, although I must say the TA-152 looks great

Country: | well the Anton was the bombewr killer without a doubt, while the Dora did what it could agasint RAF and US escort fighters. Dora still the sleeker craft of the two. and since we are chatting about the Dora I will put in a plug for the chap Eric larger and his Dora book jjust released, volume 1 through the Czech firm JaPo. I am hearing quite positive things about this. Being offered in the states for 61.00 US at Roll models wherever that is.......
am still trying to find out more on II./JG 301's events in the book as I am in touch with Mr. Larger even today. will let everyone know soon..........
ok more discussion on comparisons  ♫ | |

| I would have to say the "A" model. It looks mean just sitting still and the shorter nose had to give better visibility.

Country: | I like them both. Although I prefer the Dora as in my opinion it looks sleaker while the Anton looks meaner. They both look good though...
