    1:32 scale Lancaster Mk.1 Hachette Partworks

    Gerry, you can have my vote for "Modeler of the Year". Your comprehensive dialog and photos are priceless for anyone wanting to duplicate a Lanc.

    Look'n good Gerry...I'm impressed with the detail of the cast aluminum engine. The art if plastic molds has definitively become museum quality.

    Gerry, Thanks for the fine account of your progress. In itself summarizing your work is time consuming,but gives us a good account of problems we would also incur if ever deciding to take on a monster like your 1/32 Lancaster. I think at the conclusion of your project you may want to print...

    "Awaiting the Ami's" a small diorama of infantrymen

    Chris, I might add that my baking soda was old and had absorbed moisture due that I live in a humid climate. This causes the soda to lump and gives another dimension to snow, also can easily be granulated as first purchased.

    "Awaiting the Ami's" a small diorama of infantrymen

    Correction: I used Baking soda and pressed areas down to appear packed. I built this model 6 years ago has yet it has not yellowed. I will get a container of Soft Flake and try it out. I assume the snow is HO scale and wonder if they have it in other scales. Thanks for the tip.

    B24D Diorama "Return from Ploesti"

    Thx for your interest Chris. I am still in the process of gathering after market parts. I plan to make the base as a map of western Europe with a few targets that identify the 486th BG, 332 BS missions. Trying to obtain a map of WW2 vintage may take some time. The B-17 will be "Lady Lightin...
