I do suggest that your design should be also available in 1:33 scale to be consistent with other WW2 bomber models out there ( like the GPM Wellington ). I know it can be scaled up, but the parts may not fit on the page, or the details will be blurry )
Best wishes on the design.

Can't say I had noticed the wing pitch angle on the whitley but have you ever seen a B52 take off? They fly very nose down looking like the are about to crash.
