I think it was done to give options as the very first batch of MK 1 Lancasters, I believe were, manufactured without the side canopy blisters.

how about this for a what if ? http://www.clavework-graphics.co.uk/aircraft/fantasy_2/fantasy_167.html

so near and yet so far

Hi Dennis, Yep the exhaust stub option saves a lot of time. I found out only after I had installed the 4x merlins. A very useful option for those not showing engines. The blisters are not too much of an issue with a little thought. They are done that way I believe, to increase the aircraft options available. Anyhow, I dipped the canopy and blisters with Johnsons Klear (or equivalent) When they were dry enough to handle, i held the blister in position and using a small brush or, as i did, a cocktail stick I ran some more Klear round the blister using its natural capillary / flattening properties. The new Klear re melts the dry klear on both the blister and canopy bonding them firmly when dry. Hopefully this shows what I am on about. Once they are fully dry only the hardest of knocks will remove them and if they do need moving or re attaching another dose of Klear will do the job.

Now the HK Lancaster has actually landed It seems the aftermarket suppliers are now getting into gear. These markings really have piqued my interest https://www.modelimex.com/132-decals-avro-lancaster-bmki-luftwaffe-korndt32020 Different

Now theyve started to land looks like Peter @ airscale is going to be busy!

Well played Mark, You will enjoy the build, I have no doubts. WIP thread?

The first batch of kits will come with both clear and normal fuselage halves in the same kit.

I'm not so sure its the scale that's the "issue" merely the size of the subject produced.

Works here just need to spend less time on my phone !!!!!

Ok, Rummage over, I am offering, as three separate lots 1. Original boxing of Revell Hawker Hunter F6 A couple of decals are missing off the decals sheet, (not my doing) but the rest of the kit is complete and bagged with the exception of the wing and tailplane sprue. 2. Osprey Combat Aircraft series no 60 B-1B Lancer Units in Combat 3. Aerofax Mig 15 book by Yefim Gordon And yes Kevin, could you put me down as donor and recipient. Ta.

Raid on the Tirpitz may provide a little meatier subject, especially as it was attempted several times using special weapons AND there are a few conspiracy theories surrounding why it succeeded.

Ill take a rummage round later and get back to you with a donation........... Standby.

I used a set of these on my A10 build a while ago, likewise I now use them for attaching props and the like, They are ideal.
