Len Thomson Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I have done the initial work, in rebuilding the flight deck. Just test fitted into the fuselage side here I have tried to show the landing gear mounts properly and the kit landing gear is a little basic, so it got a re-build and here is how it fits together The engines will be replaced with Neil's lovely resin Hercules intended for the Lancaster II. They fit with some filling Progress will be slow on this one...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 That's lovely Len... I like a nice bit of scratch building. Tell me - how do you manage to get it all looking so clean? I tend to knock bits off mine & have to re-attach them... I seem to be a little clumsy in my old age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
