Recently released on war thunder ...so new, there are no repaints as yet ...and some issues to resolve. But overall looking pretty good...except for the prolapse toward the stern :lol:

:thumbup: Great pic, Marty. I saw one at a RAF Leuchars BoB Day in the early or mid-1960s, but of course the radome was retracted to the landing position. Main thing to check with a Shack model is the prop rotations :wub:

Cheers Mike ...I'm really hoping someone will do some paints for the old girl, but there seems to be a bit of pushback from the WT community over this model for some reason.
The issues I mentioned are ...the cockpit is very basic (will be added later) and that search radar cant be retracted without lowering the landing gear.... but it's being worked on as well.
I so much want to see this in RSAF paint.

Interesting - obviously IRL there would be interlocking to prevent conflicting movement, but that would hardly be done by shared hydraulics. What if they had to ditch, or belly-land?
Mebbe the modellers had watched 'Memphis Belle' too much?
