kkarlsen Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Hello Gent's this is my first post on 'Britmodeller' - As this is a british plane I thought it would be appropriate to post it here. It's the 'reconstruction' of my Tamiya 1/48 Avro Lancaster. I originally bought it in 1978-79 and only finished it 80-90 %. At the time I lost interest in scale modelling and the years went by... It was very very inspirering when I saw the insanely detailed version done by Alex Kontiveis, but I do not want to spend two-three years on the build. So I have decided to do 'it' somewhere in between. The build started a year ago, and I will be posting the steps along the way. The build started by taking 'her' apart and stripping 'her' from paint - What a mess!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkarlsen Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) Thanks Gent's - I have been struggling, how to get the Tamiya Lanc to look more like the real thing rather than the 'toyinsh' feel it has to it. So I have decided to take the 'plunge' and I am going for the 'Stressed skin' approach, as this is one of the more 'prominent features' of the Lanc's Some photos of my work on the 'Stressed skin' approach... Well, I'm quite happy with the result. It's not perfect, but definitely more 'authentic' - nothing nice...
