Robthepom Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 Well the lower wings are finished with Bobs eyelets attached, now for the upper wings, I'm happy with my CDL it looks great in real life the photos dont show the subtle tones Rant time.......i know it must be just me but i cant get Vallejo model air paints to work, look at the state on the pre shading on the top wings, I've tried different pressures different thinner ratios. i just cant get it to spray like tamiya or mission model paints, so I'm gonna bin the stuff ( although there model colour range brush paints perfectly) Ive seen other threads where people have made jigs to hold the wings, but i just dont think its necessary, just follow the WnW instructions all fits are perfect so far, now for the tricky rigging Thanks for the comments LSP_Kevin, Gazzas, Trak-Tor and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i was walking the model down the corridor to the garage and had to turn the model sideways to walk down the corridor, my wife saw this and said "did you just have to turn that model to get it to the garage!!!!!, Good grief Rob, where the hell are you going to put that one!!!" God knows how I'm going to explain about the WnW Lancasters i have planned PS she is very supportive about my obsession, i mean hobby Edited May 14, 2019 by Robthepom kkarlsen, Vandy 1 VX 4, Rick Griewski and 5 others 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robthepom Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) hello hello some work done over the weekend, the wings are glued, and i have loosely threaded some of the rigging, what a job that is.......i have to say the model is perfect but my modelling skills are not quiet up to the standard I'd like, oh well, lets just get it finished to the best of my ability. So i'm going to wait a week before tightening and gluing the rigging (as stated in the instructions), i need more eyelets from Super Bob Buckle anyway The model already have a dust layer on it, to be honest it not the most practicle thing i ever built, but i've learnt a lot on the way Edited June 2, 2019 by Robthepom Vandy 1 VX 4, BradG, LSP_Kevin and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Looks good to me, Rob! That rigging looks a bit intimidating, though. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobs Buckles Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Hi Rob, All coming together beautifully. I'm having trouble deciding between Oxford or Cambridge? Cheers! von B monthebiff, D.B. Andrus and Gazzas 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 looking good! The felixstowe is the only WnW kit that i am hesitant to start just because of all the rigging.. Quite frankly it would be easier to train a spider to do all that wiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I'm always amazed to see somebody building one of these. Looks awesome, Rob! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
