I just got in the new Handley Page H.P.54 Harrow by Valom in 1/72 scale. It was one of the aircraft designed to fufill the role of bomber and transport. Considering that it was mostly used as a transport, would it be allowed?
On second thoughts, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place!

What's it look like quality wise?

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

That said, the kit is not bad. It isn't up to the new Special Hobby standards. However, it is the only plastic Harrow on the market unless you want to build the Vac kit. It's a Valom kit. There's some work involved nut the end product is worth it. I would recommend some aftermarket Lewis machine guns though.
On a side note, have you gotten one of these?

The Harrow looks like a very bold choice Chuck, go for it.

I'm still up for this, even though it's a hectic GB time. I'll be building a Hansa League cog, hopefully with a crew, if I can source one for a reasonable amount of groats.
