Hey Mike. You did a great job. I like the smooth look of the camouflage. The Cockpit details are great! It's a very nice "Lancaster" it has inspired me for my (next?) 72 "Halifax" project ...

I like the way you masked and painted the camo colors. Kit looks like it could fly! Thanks for sharing your outstanding work and motivating the rest of us.

Hi Mike, I love the nose art, great job you did on this one, why do you chance the props en wheels? are these not correct ore are these from airfix better detailed?

Thanks again for taking the time to look and comment, I appreciate it. @Philip, the Revell wheels are not well detailed and have an inaccurate section, the Airfix wheels (including tail-wheel) are much better. The Revell props are OK but need the blades thinning considerably- since I had the Airfix spares and they were pretty nice I used them.

Oh my, this is one of those "I can't believe it's 1/72" projects... I've been toying with the idea of pulling this one out of the attic, but I can see the bar is pretty high!

Excellent work as usual, Mike! I have this in the stash along with some Eduard PE. I'm going to attempt the "Brett Green" fix to the outer wing dihedral issue. Wish me luck! 🙂

Wim's comment makes me wonder if any British Commonwealth aircraft ever had a S*XY code... 🙂

Could you please explain about the white painted area under the cowgirl's decal? Did you paint it or it is decal too?

Thanks again for all your kind comments 🙂

@Es-haq The decals were home-made on an ALPS-printer, which is able to print white. I was afraid that the pin-up girl decal would be too thin and that the black camp might show through so I made an additional white patch to ensure opacity.

Stunning work! (esp. at 1/72) Are the instruments decals too, or did you paint them?
24 June 2013, 14:43
Mike Grant
@Andrew The instruments are all decals from the kit decal sheet.

Album info

Really nice kit from Revell at a great price, but not without its issues. I had a few problems with the engine nacelle-to-wing fit, and I replaced the kit wheels and prop blades from an Airfix Lanc. Decals are Xtradecal except for the nose art which I made myself.
