Bomb bay mix Bit stupid to glue the bombs in, 5 have now been knocked out from handling, i wont do that again -
Wow that Lanc is amazing Thanks for your reply Woody, I'll order sets 1/48 staggered rivets

hello woody and fellow modellers I am currently building Border 1/32 Lancaster and there are a few panels with missing or very light rivits I have used the 1/32 scale Archer rivits on the undercarriage covers which worked well, but there are also missing rivits on the fuselage top panel. The existing rivits that I want to keep are approx 0.2mm The 1/32 rivits are much bigger and would look out of scale compared to the surrounding rivits. Does anyone know the approx diameter of the 1/48 or 1/72 scale rivits?

yes David, it all comes apart. the only thing glued in is the undercarriage but that will be easy to cover up when painting the underside -

moving along nicely, the only tricky area is the fit of the inner and outer wings which needed a lot of filing How cool is this flare gun Making do with the space i have avaliable. Really i should be making 1/144th scale not 1/32 Great kit, although i might not be saying that when i tackle the outer engine nacelles Thanks for all your comments rob -
The stuka is by far the best superkit by Aifix (in my opinion) . i really enjoyed the build

more work on this magnificent kit, wheel bays There are missing rivits on the cover so I'm using the last of my stash of Archer decals for these I'm going for interior green for the flaps, right or wrong who knows The fits of the assemblies i have built so far is incredible -

I did some extra hoses/wiring from the bulk head to the engine, its all totally fictitious I did start to do some research on the wiring but gave up as to complicated. Nothing will be seen anyway. I'm still unsure about which version i want to build but leaning towards "still going strong" WSJ -
great build love your ideas concerning the interior colour, great idea to fade the black over base green. The additional wiring also lifts the whole area so its not all moulded into the wall look In fact i love it all, well done
-
brilliant finish and thanks for all the information in your build thread I hope my Border Lanc looks as impressive when done

Robthepom replied to Robthepom's topic in Works in Progress
I just want to add, that while building this kit I have terrible regrets that its not a WnW package. Shame on you Peter, you could have had the legacy of producing the best model kit ever....ah well at least we have this 3/4 finished version to build -

I thought I'd build one engine at a time, nearly done with the first...piping is completely made up and not accurate at all, but i'm happy with how it looks...just 3 more to go -

Robthepom replied to Stokey Pete's topic in Works in Progress
Great work Pete, this thread is great help as i just started mine, love your bomb bay and build tips thanks for sharing -
Hello Fellows Well here goes......its been sat in the dark cupboard for way to long, I'm not getting any younger, so I've decided to build this kit while i can. It will take a while as i plan to do it in stages so i dont get bored as i did with the WnW Felixstowe Engines first with bearers My plan is to expose 2 engines and with the other 2 covered dummy engines. I'll make 2 Rolls and 2 Packard basically because i have no idea what Lanc I want to build yet LET ME OUT!!! Fantastic plastic Test fit of engine parts If you have any tips or advice, please jump in and let me know I've been watching YouTube builds, because the instructions are giving me brain strain
-
Ah yes, i also used Ali's canopy set, after cracking the kit part, fit is excellent
