Roman Schilhart Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) Hello! Here's my 1/72 Airfix Lancaster BII, which I started working on in April 2014. It was already finished at the end of October and went on display at the Wiener Modellbaumesse (Vienna Model & Toy Fair), where IMPS Austria were attending. Now I finally managed to get pictures taken, thanks to Mr. Wolfgang Rabel of IGM Cars & Bikes. This is the 1/72 Airfix kit with some Eduard photo etch added, representing a machine of 408 (Goose) Squadron, 6 Group RCAF, RAF Linton-on-Ouse, Yorkshire, July 1944. The model was airbrushed using Gunze/Mr Hobby acrylics. TT Thanks for looking! Cheers from Vienna, Austria Roman Edited December 1, 2014 by Roman Schilhart 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mixup_1 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 After finishing mine only a few months ago and my first RFI, this build is fresh in my mind. You have done yourself proud Roman...what a beautiful Lancaster! Lovely paint work and finish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Lovely neat work. A superb Lancaster! Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_C Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 A magnificent Lancaster. Very cool!!! And it's interesting to compare it to Manchester posted yesterday. Two-engined streamlined Manchester vs heavier looking Lancaster is something like a sedan or coupe vs a station wagon variant of the same car model.

Telboy1999 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 That's so good it makes me want to hang up my airbrush in shame. Lovely job, great paint work and fantastic build, one to be proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogsbody Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Nicely done. Now if you could just tone down that very bright coppery colour on the cowling fronts, it would be even better. Not your fault. Airfix tells you to use that colour, but it's not quite right. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelglue Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Lots of positive feedback here Roman, and it is easy to see why. Nicely presented, but ultimately nicely modelled version of the Lanc. The Goose squadron option is very much my go to when I build mine, and I would also like a modern tool of a Halifax Mk flown by 408 as well so I can represent "Chesty" crewed by Bob Gall.
