DugyB Posted August 9 Author Share Posted August 9 (edited) Is may just be my tired eyeballs, but it looks like there isn’t a clear plexiglass panel under the bomb aimer. I am not a expert on the Lancaster and as I am ready to put some paint on I feel inclined to paint over the clear panel with black. Did any MK Lancs not have a lower window? Be a tad more accurate. Any thoughts anyone? Edited August 9 by DugyB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DugyB Posted August 9 Author Share Posted August 9 Moving along, all so close to airbrushing the camo when after a few test fits I’ve decided to roll the dice and spot glue the frame to the inside canopy. Will trim off where the frame inserts into the body. I used Tamiya’s cement. Hope to get a cleaner and snugger fit of the canopy to the fuselage. Also this way I can glue the open sliding windows easier. LSP_Kevin, BradG, Zola25 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DugyB Posted August 12 Author Share Posted August 12 (edited) In no way am I promoting drinking, or alcoholism, but I need a stiff drink… never mind the beer… main parts taped up, on to the sliding windows… Edited August 12 by DugyB Dragon, denders, LSP_Kevin and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DugyB Posted August 12 Author Share Posted August 12 …..and now after a marathon day of taping and swearing I’ve made it this far, my goal for tomorrow is to finish the turtle back with a few parts, weather it a bit and then get the canopy glued on. And I still have my sanity intac Furie, themongoose, Landrotten Highlander and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DugyB Posted August 13 Author Share Posted August 13 At last it’s glued on with the sliding windows, with a few gaps needing to be attended to. Not sure if the dodgy fit is me with the windows open or the kits fault. But, at least it’s finally starting to look a lot more business like.

DugyB Posted August 18 Author Share Posted August 18 (edited) We’ll heck, I’ve come this far only to discover the kit decal is, well plain wrong in size and shape, so I’ll need to shorten it by about 13mm. Think I’ll try to make a copy of the real thing and make a stencil outline of it and move on…or care less and have it and the bomb markings out of kelter…. Here’s the kit decal vs the real deal… Edited November 7 by DugyB themongoose, patricksparks, Landrotten Highlander and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
