richardchapman5 Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 Today got into one of the engine nacelle. The underside is completely filled in where you should be able to see the rear side of the radiator and engine, so I sawed and sanded some plastic away. The nacelles side by side to show what I removed. what it should look like. jgrease, BradG, LSP_Ray and 7 others 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran into the same issue also and I did the same surgery. clarkis and Bill_S 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardchapman5 Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 I have just ordered the Eduard PE set for my Lancaster. Stupid me didn’t have a look at the instructions on the Eduard site before I prepaid for the set. I must say after looking at the instructions I am extremely disappointed with what Eduard have in this kit. All of the replacement radio panels are dead flat apart from some grab handles. There is 1 small add on to the seat and the oxygen holder and a couple of other minor add ons. The instrument panel also looks very flat. I think Eduard have dropped the ball big time and just rushed this set out. VERY DISAPPOINTED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardchapman5 Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 Got some more done today. I have finished one of the outboard engines and the surrounding frame work that holds the engine and oil tank. This is straight OOB. I then did some dry fitting of the engine narcelle to the wing. This is the view of the engine looking into the underside of the nacelle. that's it for today and thanks for looking.

richardchapman5 Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 Got some work done on the merlins. The next engine I'm planning on adding extra plumbing. I have placed the outer nacelle to the wing and added some Nato black to see the fit. I have test fitted the inner nacelle to the wing. L wing with both engine dry fitted. that's all for today and thanks for looking. Erwin, Trak-Tor, MikeMaben and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancman Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Hi Richard how the hell did HK and the experts miss that with the nacelles and I'm surprised no-one else has spotted this. The mistakes are fairly totting up on this kit which just shouldn't be there if the research was done correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardchapman5 Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 I don’t know but it is what it is and just have to work with what you get I’m afraid. I am still enjoying the this kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
