*** DONE: 1/72nd Lancaster B.III 'G for George' 460 Sqn RAAF

First name: Daniel
Category: cat 3
Scale: 1:72
Manufacturer: Airfix
Model Type: B.III Lancaster

My first ( and hopefully not last) build for this GB

Started this kit about 2-3 years ago with some painting of the underwings and lower fusalage black

Did abit today and will post pics later of where its at now

Would someone be so kind to help me out with what paints Il be needing? off to the LHS tomorrow so will get them then

Nice one Daniel. The Humbrol numbers are Dark Green 30, Dark Earth 29, and Black 33, all of these in matt paints, or Satin Black 85. Try to avoid using gloss black, as it's a sod to apply! The interior colour, apart from the cockpit, nose compartment and the navigators station back to the main spar is Humbrol Cockpit Grey green Number 78, but in this scale, you'll need to make it a bit lighter by adding a touch of white. The areas not painted in this colour were an almost matt black, sort of between matt and satin, if you know what I mean, which, in this scale, would be better as a very dark grey, almost black. This will allow fittings that are actually black to be painted as such, and be more visible.
Hope this helps, looking forward to the build.

Thanks for that mate , was the bomb bay grey green?

Will this be the 90mission veteran Daniel? If so ist 460sqd.

can't wait great choice!

I believe it is , Airfix got it wrong eh?

Can a mod change the thread title please to the correct squadron

How the f*** does airfix **** up such a simple thing? damn them

Fixed the photos of 'George'

and again.

and again

A most excellent choice Daniel. A very historic aircraft, and I just can't believe the number of crew that served in this aircraft. Thanks for that info Alex.

Cheers

Peter

Great choice Dan, and what an Ac to cut your GB teeth on. And all that help, your off to a great start

Wow , thanks for the info Alex , certainly an aircraft with a history

Put the engines to wings today ( photo too of the incorrect decal sheet)

Cheer guys

Good on ya Daniel, good choice mate....good luck with your build man!

and again.

Welcome to the GB Daniel and nice choice!

Yes Daniel, the entire bomb bay was semi-matt black (Night), including the insides and edges of the doors.
Good old Airfix really did mess up didn't they - 429 Sqn was RCAF, and flew Halifax III's, only getting Lancs in March 1945, used on ops only up to April 25th!!!
Being fair though, when Airfix released their first Lanc back in the late 1950's, they got the squadron right as 460.
It's a pity Alex's pics show 'Access Denied' though.

Fixed those shots up Daniel hope they help.


Cheers.
