Winnie got a reaction from R Palimaka in Border Models Lancaster B.1 "Victorious Virgin"
Thanks for the comments folks,
I have done a stint of dayshifts, so not much work time, but got my hands on it this weekend!
More paint, and assembling sub-assemblies. progress is happening but s l o w.
As I think the end is near on this part, I get slapped back to reality!
Anyway, cockpit is about to be put together, next is the bomb-aimer/ nose gun turret area. there were some punch mark on the forward facing bulkheads, which was strange, but I filled with some Surfacer 500, so the hope is that it will be subdued enough!
Cheers

There are SO many detail in the cockpit. I keep going back and forth on the second page and keep finding stuff to add. I'm not a Lanc expert, actually know very little about it, so most of the colors are fantasy, but hey, it looks like a Lanc to me! I've spent probably 4 hours today and there seems to be not much progress.
Cheers

A dab of paint.
For you who have the kit, be careful, the tolerances are super tight!

I painted the "Dunny"...
I thought I saw somewhere there were decals for the flare chutes, but I have no idea... Can't see that in the instructions anyway, also I think I'm building an early Lancaster, so maybe this flare chute is wrong, but it brings visual interest for inside the door, so I'm sticking with it! Also curious if the control runs would be a different color, such as zinc-chromate, I may do them in that color just for breaking up the colors. Also may do the hydraulic lines on the floor black.
very miniscule weathering, just a little dry brushed aluminum on the floor boards, but I like it for what'll be visible through the massive (sarcasm) door.

THe details get sparse behind the spar, the "bunkroom" has no interior, until around the rear entrance, where there is a "passenger seat" for dropping behind enemy lines, a toilet and flare chutes. as well as the rear and dorsal turrets of course. I don't have the skill to do a cutaway, but I'll do my best to make it look like a lanc...
Second picture shows cockpit attached to the bomb bay floor!

OK, some more work completed, the nose section is getting closer, some more decals coming shortly, but work is in the way... I'm trying to get an hoiur in here and there but 12 hour night shifts are a pain at times...
Anyway, here we go:
It looks busy, and when the last pieces and gun turret goes on, it will be very busy indeed!
This is going to be awesome!

cockpit parts cleaned up and getting ready for painting basics. Floors need 3 coats... black base, aluminium, then interior green for chipping...
Surprised at the amount of flash on the parts, nothing real big, but separation lines on nearly all the parts so far...
armrest repaired. It's the left side of the seat if the seat is facing forward.

Since @MARU5137 prompted it:
As I have recently received this amazing kit, I shall have to start it!
First little bits attached to the seat, found a broken part, the armrest on the bulkhead side is broken, I'll attempt to repair, but may just leave off.
There WILL be paint and chipping before I attach the seat yes!
Cheers
