your going to need your spare Lancaster kit for your York Evan

 

[A4K]

Not the bomb bay though...

 

[woljags]

i keep having a go at this and will post some more pics when there's something more to see ,its just filling and rubbing down at the moment i'm afriad

 

[A4K]

That sums up about 80% of modelmaking in my experience...

 

[Wayne Little]

did a bit of that filling and sanding stuff myself today!

 

[woljags]

it doesn't look much but this is the result of many hours filling and sanding and its still not right on one side,the pic also shows the undercart being fitted with a replacement wheel made from plywood offered into place before final shaping and painting

 

[woljags]

this is another old project i've had kicking around for years based on a old lanc kit and vac form,as per the plans i had already slightly shortened the lanc main body,i don't have a clue which model this represents

the last pic shows the basic pieces being fixed together

thanks for looking

 

[Airframes]

Good stuff Bob.

 

[Airframes]

Looking good. Be nice to see it done.

 

[woljags]

its going to be a challenge Terry as a lot is missing including the 3 turrets /undercart and cockpit canopy

 

[woljags]

thanks Terry ,i think it would have been easier to buy a new kit and bin this one but i've only kept with it because its the test shot frog kit and very rare

 

[Wurger]

Looking forward to the effect.

[Wayne Little]

[Wayne Little]

A Challenge alright....!

Looks like fun Bob.

Seems like you've got quite a few projects going and on. Best of luck with all of them.

[woljags]

thanks Jon very kind,i do have quite a few kicking about including more allied heavy hitters

 

[woljags]

some progress with this one too,pics to follow shortly once i've downloaded them,the main problem with this one being the vac form parts are not that good,i've had to reset the wings to give them the correct camber plus reshape the cut down lanc body around the upper turret position as it was too big and in the wrong position for a manchester

 

[Crimea_River]

This one will keep you busy!

 

[A4K]

Nice one Bob!

Let me check my spares - turrets are sorted, possibly undercarriage too... *may* have a spare canopy to boot.
