Also we are currently looking for a Browning M3 .50 Caliber machine gun to complete the mid upper turret. If anyone has any leads on one please let me...
It's a bit higher than the price range you listed but the Fuji S100FS is a great camera. Not sure what the exact price is but I've seen it between $400-$500. I've had this camera for almost 2 years now and works great. It has 11.1mp and 14.5x zoom.
Here are soom pictures I took from this past...

Nope, don't need any experiance at all. I started out last Febuary helping with the website and photographing the project. I wasn't able to work on the plane yet ( due to the insurance you had to be 18 ). After a while though the guys in charge decided they'd work some stuff out and let me help...
As some of you already know we are restoring Lancaster FM212 here in Windsor, ON.

Thanks guys!
Most people don't, even people from the area don't know that they're going on. That's one thing we're really trying to work on, getting the word out more.
Thanks again guys!
She was mounted on a pedestal in a park here back in the early the 1960's, in the early 2000's the CH2A took control of her and decided that it would be best to take her down and restore her.
I really regret not taking pictures of everything when I was making it but...
Thanks guys! :D
Here's my album for the restoration, once I have some time I'll start a thread on here with updates on what's going on. Once the resotration is done it will be airworthy and with the city's permission we should be able to fly it.

Website has been updated. There is a list of aircraft but not much has changed. Under performers/attractions it lists a F-15, F-16, F-18, C-17, and C-130. Those are a mix of static and flying aircraft.
Here's my lastest model. 1:48 Tamiya Avro Lancaster Mk. I/III modified to a Mk.X. I used CanMilAir's FM212 decals. This is modeled after the Lanc we're restoring here in Windsor (Avro Lancaster FM212 "Bad Penny"). I still have a few small touch ups to do but other than that it's done.
