John Almost correct, I would suggest a little closer together with the one (towards the front: RED) being under what would have been the H2S housing, hence why it had the clear portion at its trailing edge . . .

Martian Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 You were right to re-spray the undercarriage legs, it would have been a shame to have spoilt the assemblies after all the work you have put into them. Martian 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can take time to find the right vehicle. I was lucky with the hunt for my classic VW when I bought her. The type I wanted an early Fastback rarely come up for sale but one appeared when I was looking and so I immediately made the journey to Norfolk and purchased. Very happy with her ever since. The U/C legs look amazing fella. This is going to be an amazing model. Keep up the good work. All the best Chris Glad you ended up with the right motor. and thanks for the kind words. 5 hours ago, Mancunian airman said: John Almost correct, I would suggest a little closer together with the one (towards the front: RED) being under what would have been the H2S housing, hence why it had the clear portion at its trailing edge . . . Hope this Helps Ian Thanks Ian. I’ll be pinching your idea to make the lights. Or I might use thinner plastic not sure yet. It looks from that drawing that the radar covered two of the lights. I’ll wait for @isaneng to send a pic over. Soooo lucky to have him onboard for this one. 5 hours ago, Martian Hale said: You were right to re-spray the undercarriage legs, it would have been a shame to have spoilt the assemblies after all the work you have put into them.

The Spadgent Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Good evening chaps. I’m back from a lovely weekend away here. a birthday treat from my beautiful wife. to watch Jarvis Cocker in a cave in Castleton. pretty awesome!!!! No kids, no dog. I can’t remember the last time we went away, just the two of us. It was lovely. Any way the point is while we were having a cheeky pint or three yesterday afternoon I glanced across and saw this. I can’t get away from it can I. It was at this point that I decided that I wanted to get those bloody windows done on the Lanc before my birthday tomorrow. So having a spare hour or two after getting home today I threw caution to the wind and did this. And to the other side. After a whole bunch of cutting and sanding I got a window shape. i used this to make a tape template. you can just about see it here. I cut out some windows and sanded them to fit. It seems as though Tamiya green top doesn’t fog this type of plastic so running a bit around the edge created a seal. Here’s the other side. a little dusty but I’ll sort that when it’s dry. here are both sides from the inside. nice!! I’m super happy with that. The niggle that was there has now gone. I can move forward happily in the knowledge that I’m actually doing everything I can to make this right. Ok then I need to get some sleep. Back to work tomorrow. I’ll probably not get anything done on the Lanc on Monday but I’m looking forward to the next few steps. Thanks for dropping by and as always. Happy Modelling. Johnny.

Buzby061 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 The Lanc is looking fantastic, the attention to detail is fantastic. Far better than my "Good enough for Government work" approach. Belated Birthday greetings, great choice of venue for the concert. My wife & I honeymooned in Castleton there in winter 2000, great walks along Mam Tor in the snow & some great pubs. One of our favourite places. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave665 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) Enjoying your build from the back. The level of detailing on the inside is a delight. The undercarriage ain't bad either. You certainly deserve to be happy with how adding those windows has turned out. Excellent stuff. Dave Edited April 12, 2018 by dave665 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBaron Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I see that there's been some consummate Spadgentrification in progress whilst I was away and I must say that feast of structure and colour has been a delight to catch up on Johnny. Have you seen Mr. Forkasiewicz's digital works for inspiration btw? The level of details on his Lancs, why they're almost legendary Spadgentary! http://www.vintagewings.ca/VintageNews/Stories/tabid/116/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/483/A-Terrifying-Beauty-the-Art-of-Piotr-Forkasiewicz.aspx Great work fella. Keep it coming. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
