Further pics.

Not seeing many of these kits being completed! My tribute to R5689 VN-N a kite from 50 Sqd RAF Swinderby. Not many upgrades: The gun barrels are aftermarket. Real canvass seatbelts in the cockpit. The red VN - N is painted on. No pre-shading malarky, painted like a Lanc' should be. The paint...

Odd way to put the paint on but if it works for you then that's all that matters, I always do a full coat of brown over the entire model, then mark out/mask up for the green, makes life easier. Your completed Lanc' looks fab, I'd be proud of that one.

Hello Gerry, Thanks for saying 'yes' to letting me use the pics. I've now read your reply about your health, i'm with everyone else on this, wishing you a full recovery.

Gerry can I copy the images please ? I will be crediting you.

Gerry it looks superb and it has to be the best looking Hachette kit/completed model I've ever seen, the next question is..... Can I copy all the completed pictures and post them on a Facebook group I run ?

You ever get this finished ?

Amazing work, miniature engineering at its finest.

I already know that, just wasn't going to go there.

Guys just thought I'd tell you lot if you don't already know this, but Niggers headstone has been changed and they've removed the name 'Nigger' :mad::mad::mad: It's not Negro or Nigga and the dogs name was called Nigger and was not being racist, around the Bomber Command Community everyone is...

That's good to hear Gerry. To behonest the HKM isn't the bestest kit I've looked upon, so many errors and imperfections in the plastic, but I sorted out the most visible problems. I've heard in the pipeline that WNW has gone under, so their Lancaster will never go into production...Sad times...

Hello Gerry, Hope I'd not upset you about me saying you might have passed away ? I had a friend called Mike Houlder he was a very good friend, we never met but chatted by phone/email/forum/Facebook, but then he stopped talking to me and thought I'd done something wrong but after several months...

It's been that long since Gerry posted I'm hoping he hasn't passed away! :oops: A good friend of mine in Argentine who I could only contact him via' email & Facebook ignored all my messages, thought he'd fallen out with me for some reason but a few weeks ago I found out he'd passed away in...

Reamers look like these! Maybe one for your tool kit if you haven't got one.

Interesting build you did, end result is a model B17 which I've never seen before. Noticed you used a knife to enlarge the hole! Have you ever thought of buying model reamers ? Really sharp high quality reamers made for making correct round holes.
