Finn Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Here is another photo of a couple of Lancasters in flight, don't know what happened to the roundels on the wing of the one in the foreground: Jari Uncarina, JayW, Derek B and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Interesting! Touch up paint? In any case this also shows a hard (or harder) edged camo pattern. I purchased a TopNotch camo mask set, so this gives some validation to the purchase! Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber Command nut Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) I'm tempted to say those roundels are in the process of a re-paint. They are terribly bleached. The one on the port wing is curved, like somebody is mid-way through the job whereas the star. one is straight . . . that erk has got that little bit further . . . I once painted the roundels on one of my models with bleached roundels after realizing that SOME aircraft could live on the squadron for months ie arrive in spring and through to winter, the sunlight doing the damage . . .

Uncarina Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 “As we climbed in the circuit the sun was pale above the horizon, throwing long shadows across the landscape of East Anglia. At 10,000 ft we joined the stream on its first leg, flying eastward and out of the golden light. A few minutes later we crossed the coast, with Cromer looking serene and at rest. I said a quiet farewell to my beloved England. Those same feelings would have filled the hearts of Geoff and Norrie, watching from their turrets. With luck P-Peter would bring us home in five and a half hours. Cromer would be in darkness, its people asleep in their beds. But, first there was Bremen.” — Luck and a Lancaster: Chance and Survival in World War II (Airlife Classics) by Harry Yates https://a.co/iKe4aJo Just a small update: I finished modifying the cowling and engines, and installed the scratchbuild radiators. First, a reference photo: Then the radiators before installing: And after: I've primed the landing gear bays, and will get them painted at the next opportunity before installing in the wings. After that the wings "should" go rapidly together, then it's on to the rudders and elevators. Until next time!
