The above link should give you a start.There is another WIP thread in here that will give you all the gen,but it is escaping me at the moment.

What a magnificent idea Dek,BV 141esque or what.

If it aids your decision making process;the Hole In The Wall Gang did rather more than just Operation Chastise.The Tallboy and Grand Slam trips were
probably more meaningful in terms of impeding the progress of the enemy.
The audacity of the Dams raid,and it's effect of making the enemy think "Oh Crumbs!What else can they do?" was just what was needed at the time,but
materially the damage was soon remedied.
I still like the look of the Day Scheme on the YZ Lancasters,haven't made one yet though.

Question. Does Typhoon use MACE?
If it does Bobski would have said so.

Can dig mine out of store tomorrow if needed.

Stick with what John just told you.He knows his stuff.

I like that.
Well done old chum Must dig mine out and finish them.

Isn't that an optimistic climb angle for the York?

Here's one I prepared earlier;
There is an RFI thread showing all the piccies but it is proving difficult to find. -

In the past I have mixed a clear colour with Johnsons Klear. I then dipped the transperancies in this mixture. Leave to dry and repeat until you get the depth of colour you are looking for.

Pretty much what he said.Food colourants are quite useable too so I'm told.

Crumbs,you've been busy

I do like your photography.The tank looks rather good too
Just wondering about the quick field repair job on the right hand track.

Crumbs Jorge! Good work old chum.
Did you use the individual track links?
What do you think to the drive sprockets at the front?
I like what you've done and well done for getting there.Not the easiest of kits,spot on job

Thanks all for looking in.Time taken is never wasted.
-
Thanks Sammy.
It is still a mystery to me how four little tiny thin things like those can do that amount of work.
-
Crumbs!That looks rather busy.
Good to see you're still at it. -
That's rather nice,very tasty.
-
That's quite an imposing lump.I like that,looks a treat.

Wish i could polish a turd that well
Looks spot on to me

That's a delight to behold.Well done old chum

I like those,well done old chum

G'day Chums,
Please bear with my lousy photography.
This came my way a month or so ago,I fancied a change from my usual fare and this seemed ideal.
The kit is well thought out,well moulded and very crisp.
The Caunter colour scheme presented it's own challenges,but nothing a bit of digging couldn't sort out.Although he doesn't know it Mike Starmer was very helpful on this subject,having read some of his various jottings around these forums.I followed his paint mixtures as best I could and came up with a result that I find very pleasing.
I went for the individual track links instead of the vinyl ones provided,not as masochistic as it seems,and the 5 hours or so spent preparing,assembling and painting was well worth the effort for the end result.I'll not mention the half an hour spent with the carpet monster after I dropped the container holding the full set of prepared bits for one side.
I painted the fuel cans red purely for a bit of colour. The major paintwork was airbrushed,being as I acquired one recently.I'm not sure if I've overdone the dusty weathering though.
I hope this passes muster,enjoy.
Well done old chum 
Looks spot on to me

I like that.Is she trying to obey the Curvature Of The Earth Rule in an atempt to take off?
