We've had a restock of the Raiden planes this week and there's two new aircraft now available, with both the American B-25J Mitchell and the Soviet Tupolev Tu-2 bombers now in stock.

Nice. I do like these - now I could do the Dolittle raid ... but I won't.
Chap on the Telegraph Podcast said the Dolittle Raid was conducted by B25 Liberators a few days ago. Been fuming since.

Why not ?

If your going to portray the Doolittle raid then strictly speaking you'll need the earlier B-25C model with the glazed nose rather than the new solid nose later war B-25J strafer model......but they are, as FSN says quite correctly Mitchell's not Liberators......not enough engines to be a B-24! :-B
I'd like to see them try to take off a Liberator from the USS Hornet's flightdeck ;)

Tis a tad large, the B25 only just fits
