Avro Lancaster B Mk.III Dambusters
AJ-N Nut ED912

I started this back in April for a club display for the Dams Raid Anniversary. Needless to say I did not meet any of the deadlines!

I am building ED912: AJ-N 'Nut'. This aircraft was involved on the Eder Dam raid and was the third aircraft to attack the dam. Its Upkeep mine caused the dam to breach.

Our club display concentrated on aircraft crewed by Australians. AJ-N had two Australian crew, the pilot; PLTOFF Leslie Knight and Wireless Operator: FSGT Robert Kellow.

The Eduard mask set I recieved last week was the build saver. I tried masking with other tape but found it quite tedious and not very tidy.

Some shots with some paint. I am not sure if the tail and nose turret framing should be as I have painted them or just all black. I have rubbed it back to get rid of some overspray and rough finish from the Future I sprayed on it. Touch ups and re-coating with Future to follow and then decalling to complete it.

Since I broke on of the gear leg cross support struts I decided to do her wheels up. I am using than Italeri stand that looks quit good IMO.
