LSP_Mike Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Not to hijack this thread, but I'd rather see a FW-200 than an He-177. For some reason the Lanc is tempting. The prototypes look pretty good to me. alanash1963, Iain and LSP_K2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wunwinglow Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 (edited) Fw200 circling a convoy for hours, just out of range, and before the days of MACs and CAMs. One fed up escort captain signals the aircraft 'Please circle the other way, you are making us all dizzy' The Fw obligingly banked, and starting orbiting the other way..... I'll just say the word 'Lancaster' to keep this post on topic. Edited May 22, 2018 by wunwinglow Uncarina and alanash1963 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, sad that. That's why I hope they include the clear forward fuselage in the kit as per the 1st photo's that were published. alanash1963 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozart Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) she looks oooo so good hope mk1 and mk3 in same box Al The only difference between the Mk I and Mk III is that the latter had Packard Merlin engines rather than Rolls Royce Merlins, this also meant a different and much coveted tool box. It is probably true to add that Mk IIIs generally had the broad paddle-bladed Hamilton propellers but that alone does not define the Mark.

Cees Broere Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Indeed, but apart from that there are also detail changes such as larger bombardier bubble, sidewindows with viewing bubble, location of pitot tube etc. Don't know yet about the sideview windows but the bombardier bubbles and pitot tubes are included as per James' preview. As are the H2S, Fishpond sets for the later versions. But these were also retrospectively installed in the earlier Lanc.Cees mozart and alanash1963 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maxim Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 A little piece of inspiration for of us waiting for the Lanc. This is the box art for the Airfix kit. Great painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
