Supersonic Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Very nice Lancaster ! I guess when you would put it on your roof of your car and take pictures outside we all could see even more of this very nice model . Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stusbke Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 lovely work sir I love the lines of that bomber. I like it more then, dare I say it?, the B17 anyway regarding your battery set up wouldn't be more safe to put in the back of the big round tube in the centre of the bomb bay take out he back end no soul will notice and no need to tape it risking more damage to bomb bay and the doors... just a thought.

If I may (and to be corrected) is the main gear tyres and the grey. I know their not true black but I’m not sure grey misting is the answer. Apart from that, that’s a competition winner Thanks Steve! You're right, the tires are a little too gray - I used Mr. Color Tire Black, which seems to me to be closer to Gunship Gray but I haven't found a suitable alternative yet, at least without mixing my own.

The exhaust staining was a random light airbrushing of overlapping whites, grays and black until it looked right to my eye. No special secrets there. As to the weaponry, I have a tendency to rush through the bombs and things and just forgot the seam On 10/9/2020 at 4:41 AM, dennismcc said: Most impressive Cheers Dennis Thanks Dennis!

Phartycr0c Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 having put two of these together now I can say I concur with your comments. Its a great rewarding kit that builds up into a stunning subject. You Sir have done this more than a little justice. Great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be enough to magenetise againgts the batteries Thanks! Not so sure about putting magnets next to a battery pack though. I think some electrical tape will do just fine On 10/9/2020 at 2:18 PM, mozart said: Well done Sir, that really is a most imposing and splendid looking Lancaster, one to be proud of for sure! Thanks Mozart! On 10/9/2020 at 3:38 PM, brahman104 said: Very nice indeed!!!! Looks great out of the box too Craig Thanks Craig!

Confusionreigns178 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 That is one great Lancaster you have built there, my friend. A real tribute to your building and painting skills. I was watching a Lanc taxying around a large field a few months ago ("Just Jane" at the Lincolnshire Aviation Museum, East Kirkby). It occurred to me that the design was a thing of great functional beauty. Cheers. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greif8 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Impressive build Mark, if you had not mentioned the blushing issue I would never have known. I thought it was some well executed fading. Where are you going to display that beast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
