Hoping to see some progress on your Lanc B.II, never mind that Russian stuff!  Yes, hoping to get to Bolton although not displaying. It's not too far from here, so will be rude not to go as I've never been before.  Cheers  Will be getting on that after Bolton, building another V-1 for Bolton so not touching anything else at the moment. It's not far off some paint now though! See you Sunday, I'll have my purple '580 Modellers - Radders' top on  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gone onto shifts this month for 6 months doing a secondment and on nights this week. On afternoons next week so I get a long weekend in between. See you there mate  thanks for the kind comments guys. I need to scratch build the bomb bay tanks and add a few more sticky out pieces and then it's done. Quickest I've finished a build in a few years!  cheers neil  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Looks simply fantastic. The well applied staining and dirt effects are a really a nice touch to this neat build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomoshenko Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Just caught up again. Wonderfully executed build Neil. Very neat, convincing weathering, and oh what a scheme! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Beautiful job as usual, Neil! However there was a phrase from your post -Â 'finished a build'. What an odd expression. I'm certain I've never used that expression, at least not in a while. 'Finished a build'; perhaps I can use that this year to describe my Lancaster GR.3. Perhaps. Â Best Regards, Â Jason Edited January 16, 2017 by Learstang Exceedingly minor correction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learstang Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Well it's not a Lanc, but it is part of the Lancaster family - I've retrieved my Airfix Shackleton to do some more work on. I've actually gotten quite a bit of work done on it - the wings, outer nacelles, bits of the interior all glued together and even some painting done (right now I'm painting the 700 or so propeller blades). However, in which century this rather large model will be finished is anybody's guess. To say that I work at a glacial pace is underestimating the rate at which glaciers move (I should know, being a geologist by education).

woody37 Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 Lol,  funny enough ugh I had a Shackleton delivered yesterday, looking forwards to doing it....apart from the 700 propeller blades 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev67 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Another great build Neil, love the weathering you have achieved on the Halifax, looks spot on and not overly done either 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 Cheers guys  Progress has slowed down this week but made some progress with those bomb bay tanks.

woody37 Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Hazdi has asked if the fuel tanks are the correct colour. Normally tanks are red, whilst I've done these black, can anyone shed any light? Â cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perdu Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I have just done a quick Google and found the same picture of tanks in situ that you did and also a couple more of tanks in Mosquito and Lancaster which do have brick red painted surfaces  The one you did shows a fairly light tone too, maybe he's right  But that doesn't mean they were all red  I don't think I'd change them because the tanks in the Lancaster picture have many more straps than the Hallibag ones so they are obviously different units  Tell you what though, it looks magnificent with the bays open and the tanks up in there  I love it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 Cheers guys. I'm going to leave them as is Bill. They should pop out easy enough if I need to change them. It's all done so I'll get some daylight photos done tomorrow morning. Off to the Bolton show now. Sleep pattern is all over the place this weekend due to my first night shift in 20 years last week! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Excellent finish Neil, congratulations, I've really enjoyed your build. How was the Bolton show and was Tony O'Toole there? My email is down at present, so have no outgoing comms!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 Hi Colin, Â it it was good although only stayed a few hours. I never seen Tony, last I heard he was in hospital again with his back, so hoping its moving him the right way this time. Â cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Thanks,  Neil, for sharing this build ...  the end product looks really good.  Thanks too  (and to Colin) for news about Tony OT ... I thought he'd been unusually quiet lately and guessed he might have been having his back seen to.  I don't like bombarding folk wth "are you all right???" messages so I'm pleased to have some sort of confirmation.  The Haifax really does look good ... and frankly so do the tanks you've built and added, which really add to the overall effect. Great!  Jonny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
