Graham Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Here's my latest project converting the old Tamiya Lanc using the Paragon MkII conversion, started by moving the wireless op's window 1cm rearwards and filling in the windows and aerials. The Lanc I am basing it on is Fanny Ferkin II, DS842, JI-F from 514 Sqd and from pics I can find she didn't have these. Graham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 Windows moved and filled in now to remove the lump of plastic where the H2S goes and then a re-scribe. Thanks Keith but I have the ADS sheet. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Spent most of the day removing the pouring blocks a few touch ups needed but all done now. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 Here's the stage the Lanc is at I am finding those wee pesky etched parts a bind or is it the eye sight and old age catching up anyway she's been scribed and cockpit started not brilliant but it will do.

Troy Smith Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) HI Graham have a search in the WWII section, there is a thread or two on the interior of Lancs, and that the 'leather' parts were in racing green. [and probably not leather] one of the threads is here. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/78745-dambuster-lancaster-colour-questions/ There is another where someone mentions that the seat material was a leather cloth used on bus seats IIRC... edit - here you go http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234933074-colour-of-leather-things-in-aircraft-cockpits-raf/ HTH T Edited May 4, 2013 by Troy Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Engines on, there are no markings on the cowlings where the intales and exhaust go so an old set of plans from SAM and Mk I eyeball then fingers crossed. Graham 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 A bit more progress, fuselage together, tail feathers done and all dry fitted. Drilled out the spinners and fitted the prop blades using the UMM prop jig which was a breeze to use and now the brutish good looks are showing through.

dogsbody Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 A wee bit late but I thought I'd throw this out there. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom216 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 That Lanc is looking fan-bloody-tastic! I do prefer the Merlins, but you are right, as this has nice brutish look to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggu Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 My wife's uncle was a navigator on Lanc MkII's with 408 Sqdn RCAF , and said it was a hot rod, and one of the best he ever had the pleasure of flying in.... awesome job Graham... I have the kit but not the paragon conversion..... would love to find that one.... Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
