Lancman Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 (edited) Here's what I am hoping will rekindle my modelling mojo, after searching through the stash I have decided on this. A model kit which celebrates it's 40th birthday next year and still the only one in it's scale which I find hard to believe and when I bought it set me back £21.99 so im guessing that was in the 80's. The beauty part is the 1/48th Tamiya Lancaster and the Beast is I am using the Paragon conversion and making a MkII Hercules powered version. I also plan to use the Eduard big Ed set, Belcher bits SBC's and Cookie with the decals from ADS.The first thing that needs to be addressed is moving the wireless op's window as on the Tamiya kit it's about 1cm forward from where it should be plus this Lanc didn't have the fuselage windows or the aerials so these all needed to be filled in.Graham Edited April 11, 2016 by Lancman Hogzilla and Derek B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudger Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Heres a build I'll be keenly watching. I built one of these a while ago, basically OOB & gave it to my freinds grandad, a navigator on lancs in. WW2 but I have another in the stash which will get the works. It is a very impressive model when built & painted. Looking forward to this build my freind :-) Happy modelling, Martin mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancman Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Got back working on her the fuselage has been rescribed and interior started and these Eduard bits take a fair bit of time but they are worth it. MikeC and Wurzacher 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Graham Terrific idea and way to get the juices flowing again. Nice start on the Lancaster. Scale isn' the most important; it's the enjoyment and enthusiasm that counts. Keep 'em coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancman Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Managed to get some time back on this more interior done and opened up the escape hatch near the mid upper as both hatches were the same size while Tamiya's is quite a bit smaller.

98Wrangler Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Man that is quite a challenge you have set for yourself, but it sure looks like you have the upper hand on this. So far the work is exemplary, just hope the work juices can sustain this effort. No appologies required if you take a break to regenerate the enthusiasm as that is what I've done on the PE work required for the B-25 bombardier area. And you are right as some of the PE pieces seem to have a mind of their own. Excellent photography as well. What camera and lens are you using?
