I'd be over the moon if mine ends up looking as good as yours (which it wont !). Never say never! I had some major periods of despondency, especially during wing and engine nacelle assembly. Stalled for several months as a result. But I got there! If I can do it, anybody can... Uncarina and npb748r 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber Command nut Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Another fine 32nd Lancaster to add to the gallery . . . Congrats on the build, it seems that most of these builds take many months rather than weeks . . . Nice to see the early 'Queenie' rather than 'Sugar' Uncarina and TimW 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geedubelyer Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) Nice job Tim. Always a pleasure to see one of these big kits finished and congratulations for sticking with it. Just an observation for anyone else building one of these. It's worth checking references for the exhaust staining over the top of the wing. Some aircraft don't show much staining on the most outboard exhaust as the wingtip dihedral could often carry it under the wing instead. She'll look great next to the B-17. It would be fascinating to see a side by side to compare relative sizes if you ever get a chance Tim.

I can always wipe some of it off later. Definitely will do some comparative pics at some point! Cheers, Tim W. geedubelyer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
