Avro Lancaster B Mk.I Tamiya 1:48

That turned out lovely. I'd be happy with that on my shelf -
I've used some Eduard legs before and they are a good replacement. But my next set for my G6 & G10 will be these beauties. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/synthetic-ordnance-works-mlgs-1003-messerschmitt-bf-109g-main-landing-gear-struts--1281694

Looking good so far. Like the scheme you've gone for. I really do like JG300 aircraft Like you i'm not exactly loving the way Revell decided to produce the main gear legs. But mine on my G6 are still holding up 2 years later so they can't be that bad.

Anyone know of a site that provides really good detailed pictures of a Jumo 004 (Me262) jet engine? I am trying to add some detailing to the Revell Me262 engine so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Excellent work as usual Nils. Love your creations
-
Thanks for the advice about the adhesives. I went for the Poundland glue and for a quid, it's great. Little bit stringy but certainly holds the scatter fantastic compared to my WWS stuff. Thanks again
-
Does it dry clear or is it coloured?
-
I am trying to glue some Treemendus foliage to my branches but the WWS adhesive i am using just isn't strong enough. I think it would be great for foam type foliage but Treemendus is either cork or rubber (not sure what it is really). So what spray adhesive would you guys recommend? Obviously it's going to have to be a clear colour so the branch colour shows through.

(By Ron Klages on Feldgrau.net) "There were only 2 units with Tiger Is in the area of the Ardennes but only one of them saw action in the battles. On 18 December 1944 schwere Panzerkompanie "Hummel" was assigned to schwere Panzer-Abteilung 506 as it's 4.Kompanie. At this point it had 8 Tiger Is while the balance of 506 had 47 Tiger IIs. These Tiger Is did fight in the battles in the Ardennes and on 17 January 1945 1 of the Tiger Is that had been damaged in battle was destroyed by the crew since it could not be recovered prior to the withdrawal. "Hummel" stayed with 506 until 16 February 1945 when they left with 5 Tiger Is to operate as an independent unit the remainder of the war. schwere Panzer-Abteilung (Tiger/Fkl) 301 with 29 Tiger Is received word on 15 December 1944 that they were to be attached to the 9. Panzer-Division. They assembled in Niederaussem to entrain for transport which was scheduled to begin on 20 December 1944. On 22 December 1944 members of the unit Stab went into the Eifel to establish contact with the HQ of the 9. PD, which was scheduled to relieve the 2. PD fighting near Celles. However, before the rail transport of the Tigers could happen, all of the rail lines had been destroyed so on 25 December 1944 301 was released from it's attachment to the 9.PD. The Tigers were unloaded and 301 moved to Nörvenich where it became an Army Group reserve of the LXXXI. Armee-Korps. During the first half of 1945 301 carried out repairs and maintenance to their equipment as well as personnel reorganization. Hence they never took action in the Ardennes actions. In fact they did not enter action untill 20 January 1945 at Waldfeucht against the British in the Rhineland operations. At this point they had 27 Tiger Is. It appears the reduction of 2 was the result of 2 Tiger Is being sent to Maintenance in early January 1945. When they went in combat in the second half of January 1945 they had 52 BIVs on their roster. However it appears that the demo tanks were never used again although there were orders for them to be used to destroy bridges over the Ruhr River on 10 April 1945. This order was rescinded so the demo tanks were sent back to the supply unit" Tiger I tank numbered 411 was destroyed by it's crew when it became impossible to recover it (the only picture available of a Tiger I in the Ardennes Offensive). 4.Kompanie sPz.Abt.506 renumbered the 'Hummel' tanks from 401 to 414. No other insignia was present on the tanks.
