Nice! Pretty nice

It goes well, actually I’m quite impressed! About the 20mm, I thought I bought a Master Model one but the package says RBM, so I really don’t have a clue.

Hello, I have been busy with school and I needed to stop with the HK Lancaster for a while. I had some free time this past week but I did not “feel” any mojo with the Lanc and for that reason I decided for a quick build. My top choice was the New Academy -1Z. I will only add the 20mm barrels and seatbelts. Modern US military helicopters, except the-64D, utilize the same kind of seatbelts as the ones during WW2 with some minor differences. For that reason I will use WW2 belts for the -1Z Day 1: The 20mm barrels on the Kit are not very good. They were replaced with the RB ones. Day 2: Not much progress on this day just the first black coat in the cockpit. Today: Cockpit completion and halves, tail and bits glued together.

It depends, usually the student seats in the front. For instrument flying the student goes in the back, also depending of the readiness level of the student.

Have you try to cancel the order?

Jeez! Do you have enough aftermarket stuff? This is going to be a fun build to watch.

I ran into the same issue also and I did the same surgery.

Word of advice. The instructions call for the installation of the propeller blades on a particular way. The problem is that by following those directions the profile shape of the blades will be backwards. It is hardly noticeable but for me it needs to be adjusted. Please see the pictures.

I believe even some of the Brit Lancasters has black cockpits. I saw a picture of one that looked hand painted.

Thanks

Getting there.

I can’t believe your work! I feel like I want to quit the hobby.

That is one good looking model!

Thank you for the pictures. I guess the interior colors are hit or miss.

Tank you. This is my first very large model and gluing the halves was a pain.
