I like that Chinese Gamma bomber, the USCG Delta is likely to join my stash as well.

The Gamma 2E is tempting, since it would be absurdly difficult to get there with the Williams Brothers kit. I'd be tempted to do the sole RAF example (K5053) which should be just about a stock equivalent to the Chinese version.

I think I would prefer the Gamma to the Delta for a Spanish Civil War example.

But better to have both I guess! :lol:

I believe I have a Delta conversion produced by Jim Wood / Esoteric somewhere in my stash, but since that is a vac, this will be a much easier way to get to the end product.

Having had a better look at the pictures I can see that this kit would not work for the RAAF Delta, A61-1. The kit is an early Delta and the RAAF one was later with different cabin. The different kits are just one set of plastic with different decals.
However the SH version is the later one and will feature RAAF decals.
