Count me in with an Accurate Miniatures B-25B Doolittle Raider.  I also have the old Monogram B-26 that I may try to squeeze in for this build, but for certain the Raider.

It actually isn't too bad.(I've probably gotten used to it) We've kinda had a mild season.

Above which the B-17 barely scrapes; Generally 5,000 lb over 2,000 miles.

So, what defines a medium bombload?  What constitutes a medium distance?

The medium bomber was generally considered to be any design that delivered about 4,000 lb (1.8 t) over ranges of about 1,500 to 2,000 miles (2,400 to 3,200 km).

I'd recommend taking a look at the front page of other GB's and reformating your first post.

Timeline?  Guidelines or rules?  What defines a medium bomber?  OOB or AM allowed?  Scale allowed?  Etc. etc.

If this get's off the ground, I'll jump in....AC TBD.
