Nuclear Bombers GB

[Spey_Phantom]

this year is exactly 65 years ago that the americans dropped the first atomic bomb on hiroshima, on august 6 1945.
this deadly attack, that eventually ended world war 2, planted the seeds for the cold war that followed.

i know its a bit sensitive, but i was thinking why not do a group build on nuclear weapon carrying bomber.
thinking B-29 alternative, alternative V-Bombers, fast penetration altitude fighter bombers (B61 armed EE Lightnings, Bleu steel armed Cambera's or VC-10's,....)

I've got a B-25 I've been wanting to do as a 1946 era carrier capable nuke bomber, would that work?

Hmm, a Lightning in anti-flash white dragging a Target Marker Bomb would look very good.

I think HG wells wrote a story once about atomic bombs being dropped from planes - WW1 style planes, and they pulled the saftey rings out with thier teeth and dropped them by hand!

Never mind that, what abvout Slim Pickens riding the bomb?

I thought this must have been proposed already, I was coming up with a similar idea in my head today & it rang a bell somewhere.  How about a more general Instant Sunshine GB?  Nukes in general, bombers, strike aircraft, fighters with nuclear AAM's, SSN's, arsenal ships, nuclear artillery, tanks/SPG's with nuclear shells & pretty much anything else.  Also, how about including nuclear propulsion so carriers, subs, space ships (including those crazy proposals for detonating bombs to propel a space ship), even buses...



What's the pic all about???  The Brits'll know what I mean!!!
