Looking mighty impressive Gerry, the skinning looks excellent well done. Glad to see you overcame the "F" bucket drama, for many, (myself included) your work stands as THE "how to" when it comes to putting this thing together, to loose such a valuable resource would be a massive kick in the...

Great work on the aileron hinge location Gerry, what a surprise Hachette got it wrong, again! Your work on the trailing edge join shows high skill as it bridges two but joins with alignment needing to be perfect, which yours certainly is, well done. Gerry, you continue to be a true Pathfinder...

I knew you guys would know the answer, and that diagram is awesome! Hachette failed to include some detail along the way, a couple of fuel tanks and the radio to name a few, I presumed they may have failed to include the air bottles as well, so thanks for clearing that up.

Gerry, a quick question for you and the lads. Clearly seen in the pics above are the three canisters mounted side by side at the end of the inner starboard wing. Do you think there should be three more on the port side which Hachette forgot to include( I don't trust them), or is there indeed...

Great work on the skin Gerry, many hours of dedication for a fantastic result. Can't wait to see the next two sections skinned, especially the cockpit section. In answer to your earlier question, yes, my rear turret "glass" is cracked as well. The middle portion has almost separated as the...

Thanks for the positive comments guys, first time the Lanc's been seen outside my living room. Gerry, a big Thank You for the time and effort you've taken in sharing your build with us. With skills of the highest order you've given much inspiration to those trying to put this damn thing together.

Hi Gerry, this one's coming along slowly and as you can see I'm along way behind you. Not much of the interior is done and I've had a difficult time with the rear section, stringers not straight at all! ...but it's getting there.

Hi Gerry, yes I also have this kit and have been working on it off and on for a couple of years although progress is slow and I'm way behind your build. The kit engines will look ok when built but it's a shame the rocker covers are cast with the heads and block as they are the main problem...

Looking forward to seeing your engine mount modification, it wont be easy but a huge improvement over what Hatchet gives you. A brave man indeed. Gerry, what are your thoughts on the Merlin engines provided with the kit and what if any modifications are you planning to do to them?

Great to see you and your Lanc back after such a terrible set back Gerry. Happy New Year to all from Australia.

Hi Gerry, great work, been following for a while. I thought I might offer a possible solution to the fuselage join problem. In issue 105 you get two formers, numbers 109-2 and 110-2. The instructions tell you to glue these formers (frames) to 109 and 110 then bridge the gap with short sections...
