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.

HATS OFF GERRY.....a true craftsman dedicated to the cause. Thanks for the up-dates.

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...

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.

Thx, 1/48 is tough to work with in dioramas.

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.

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...

Thx for the pics...You've got your future time locked in.... any after market parts available?...or needed.

Good work....your English is great, we have half the population that can't speak or write it properly.

Excellant..beautiful job on the Alclad...gives me an thought to use it on my B-17
