Lancman Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Decided to start work on this again as I can't wait anymore for the HK B-17 but can't believe it's been so long hiding in the stash. So I have glued the engine nacells on but cowlings and engines are just sitting in place and doewn't the Herc version look brutish Graham Wurzacher, kkarlsen and MikeC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennismcc Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Impressive, I've got a Tamiya Lancaster and the Paragon set lurking up in the loft so this will make a nice tutorial. Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancman Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Here's one of the inboard engines fitted with the landing gear there is about a 1mm gap between the resin engine and where the Paragon instructions show you where to cut. So I have stuck some strip in and will cut and sand it and add a smear of filler to it, the rear of the engine and the bottom of the engine to wing joint.

ClumsyDude Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Looks good Graham. Always had a place in my heart for the Tamiya Lanc, and yours is a really sweet conversion effort. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyZeit Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Nice! What scriber are you using? Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancman Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 Hi Justin it's the Trumpeter scriber. If you like something to try your patience then try the Eduard flap set and to add spice to it the poor instructions are wrong too. Here is the first flap done there are 14 parts plus 2 bits of plastic rod and it would be a lot easier if someone did them in resin, now only another 7 to go Graham D.B.

Bet if these came up on evil bay they would fetch a ridiculous price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancman Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 Lower flaps completed but I am now getting a bit worried if the undercart will handle the weight with all this resin/etch ect. Graham mywifehatesmodels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Good to see you still chipping away at this one, Graham. Nice work so far! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancman Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Cheers Kev, started fitting the engines and their sub assy's. There are no location or markings as where the stubbs and intakes go so it's a look at an old set of SAM 1/72nd plans and MkI eyeball, there will be a bit of filler required to blend them in but it's now taking on the brutish looks of the MkII.
