Erik De SmetActually , it is a problem : the axle of the little motors are so short that I cannot glue the propellers to it , but that they are fixed with some tacky paste. Still the power is such that the propellers will fly off the motor axle after half a minute or so; I solved this by let them turn in the wrong direction, as "pushers" . But you can't see that neither on the pictures as in reality.

CuajeteInteresting project. It is a good occasion to compare both moulds.
Following one more time, Andy!
17. September, 18:25
Erik De SmetFollowing too. I saw the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Lancaster a few times in the past (first in 1975 , I believe) , but is it still in flying condition ?
17. September, 18:42
17. September, 19:43
Andy Ball@Erik: The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) still has its functioning, flying, Lancaster, based at RAF Coningsby, Lincolnshire. Additionally there's another Lancaster that taxis, but doesn't fly. Of course, our Canadian cousins have theirs- flying, based in Ontario I believe.

Jay DubyaWhile there is no obvious Australian connection to this bit of tragic history, aside from being a training place, I'll be stopping by occasionally to have a sneaky peak from down under.
BTW: I too went to Hendon & Hennants, on a day off from a business trip, in 2018. I loved how Hendon was used for the bogus US General scene in the Dirty Dozen!
20. September, 06:37
Andy Ball@Jay: yes, I thought in one of the crews there was an Aussie....but only Kiwi's and Canadians with our boys whom perished. My cousin's airfield at Bottesford had the Aussie crews I believe (Manchesters and Lancs). Anyways, many thanks for popping by.

Mark MedwellGreat job Ray... have you had a go at making a RAAF Lincoln? I have the Alley Cat and Red Roo conversion sets, and I'm wondering how hard the conversion is... they look pretty good in the box.
1. July, 03:33
Ray SeppalaThanks guys, @Mark I have the same conversion sets. It is not on the radar for a while, when I get into the Strike SQN groove I'll do the Lincoln, Canberra, F-111 and Super Hornet. I don't think the Lincoln conversion will be too difficult. If I can more of less scratch build a Falcon 900 then a conversion set with all the parts supplied should be a walk in the park. Meanwhile I will be trying to finish up the P-8 shortly.

Fraser SI have the same issue Clive. The Hurricane is the Australian version, and that's the only decal option in the box. There is a similar box art, over Coventry, A10600, but the Hurricane is RAF.

Andy BallApparently some inaccuracies in that kit, but I'm told it's a good one to build. Look forward to your finish line!
18. July 2019, 22:03
David JanuskaWell I'm not so skilled modeller, but for me it seems this very good kit. It was the first four engine monster I¨ve did. With Eduard PE's cockpit looks very realistic. Problems with the kit were on my side. The only problem I´ve found was rear undercarriage the wheel and tyre are really big out of scale but I've purchased a resin one which is more realistic. But there is also problem with this resin wheel because it is made from two parts it has to be glued in angle and there is very big load on this glued connection.
This is my last kit painted with brushes and this is weekest point as it can be seen on the result
Avro Lancaster by Hasegawa | Album by Dy dzeJ (1:72) So I'm learning how to use airbrush and I'm astonished how good it can be.
19. July 2019, 06:38
Andy BallInterestingly I built Tamiya's 48'er a while ago in PO*S for my cousin. He owns the airfield in Nottinghamshire where it flew from before the squadron relocated to RAF Scampton. I have a picture of one of the Aussie crew members holding it when they came to visit the airfield's renovated control tower during the 50th anniversary of the end of WW2. The Tamiya kit was great too!, as I remember! I'm still very much learning my art with the airbrush ????

Gluefinger@Martin Oostrom: Correct again. We're only in it for the glue fumes. If we weren't we would all be buildung Artesania Latina wood models with white glue (which, BTW, would not require sanding to remove).

Soeren .@ Kees
The Lancaster will probably be the only WWII kit which WNW is doing for the upcoming future.
Peter Jackson and the Lancaster are not a new topic at all and have kind of a history
And btw what did you expect from a kit which has a development time for over eight years now.

Ole AndersenIn the summer of 1970 we went on a family vacation to England, staying just outside Bury St. Edmunds. I don't remember much of that vacation. I was 10 yo, but one thing I do remember is a show of sorts, and during that show, there was a fly over by a Lancaster.
Ever since, I have had a fascination about the Lancaster, so now I thinking about building one.
Either the 1/48 Dambuster / Grand Slam one from Tamiya, or even better. This 1/32 one from WnW.

Stuart HammettI havent done a model since I was a kid. my Wife bought me this about 10 years ago as a joke as she knew I always wanted to fly in one.
The funny thing is I only wanted to do a model because of the Type VIII C U-boat from the film Das Boot.
then earlier I found the Lancaster in the loft so im going to have a go
