**** DONE: 1/72 Lancaster Mk.III - Heavy Hitters II GB

[N4521U]

Eggggggg zackley!

 

[T Bolt]

You can use thin steel rod, or even copper wire. No detail, but in 1/72 it won't make that much of a difference.

 

[N4521U]

I just might resort to that Glenn. I can get a drill in there to make a hole to mount wire. But.... I hate fudging like that. Best I can find are Wellington gun barrels from China for $6.64 AU.

I sailor on.

Hell of a job Bill, hell of a job!

not sure how much different the gun barrels would between a Lancaster and a wellington so you might be ok there ?

 

[Airframes]

Same guns, but I would think Hannants would have them They'll be listed as Browning .303, with or without flash suppressor. In this scale though, if you can do without the detail, then plastic rod or stretched sprue would work.

What's wrong with superglue?

 

[Vic Balshaw]

That has possibilities Paul, but it's such a small scale behind clear parts, a fiddly job whichever way you look at it.

Can't help you either Bill, not my scale so nothing I have would fit.

 

[N4521U]

Super glue would be fine Paul, if I bl00dy well knew where the broke off parts were in the carpet!

Trouble is getting something from hannants from here is a $40 minimum order.
So that auction site is my only option. Any LHS will not be having these gun barrels.

 

[Catch22]

Good luck with your barrels, but the build looks fantastic!

 

[N4521U]

And while I wait to repair, here's what she looks like marked and assembled.

[Catch22]

Awesome Bill.

 

[Airframes]

Looks good bill. Those Quickboost barrels would do the job, although see if they have them with elongated perforations.

 

[Gnomey]

Nicely done so far Bill!

Them's what I did use, and broke off.
Would the Wellington barrels be the same? not as many and buck or two cheaper.

 

[Airframes]

Should be the same Bill, they were the same guns in 'real life'.

 

[Wayne Little]

go for it Bill!
