I’m convinced. Place holder for Special Hobby Baltimore 1/72 to be built as a 13 Sqn RAF, 454 Sqn or 69 Sqn aircraft (research and serial codes to be tied up to confirm aircraft to be built)

Joining you with this Special Hobby 1/72 Martin Baltimore, Martin Baltimore, first flew 14 June 1941. Twin engine medium bomber, with two Wright R-2600 engines. Operated with RAF and Fleet Air Arm, Australian, Canadian, South African Air Forces, Free French, Greek, Italian, and Turkey. Italian after they joined the Allies, and the Greek AF in exile. The modelled aircraft operated from Gambut, Libya with 13 squadron Royal Hellenic Air Force, alongside and looking just like RAF Coastal Command. The Baltimore was never operated by front-line US services. The narrow fuselage similar to that of the Maryland, Boston, and Hampden, was restrictive of movement, preventing crew-members assisting a wounded colleague - contributing to the aircraft being unpopular. 1575 aircraft were built, but none survive intact today. The kit cost me £13.50 from Hannants, in 2002.
