Gone through the whole thread from start to finish. I'm in awe of the work on display here!

An immaculate build with a stunning finish and superb detail. Definitely worthy of winning those awards!

A testament to what can be achieved with expert level skill and proof that there is interest in the Manchester. Hopefully mainstream producers are taking note!

Immaculate work on both machines. The colours really pop!

Super impressed with the end result, having followed the WIP. How did you manage to achieve the amazing rigging on this? What material did you use?

Exceptional work, very impressive!!!

Such a clever idea and beautifully executed!

Very impressive work, especially with the Top Studio sets! Definitely a bucket list kit for me - now following

An immaculate looking Scooby, very impressive!

Is there anywhere you can buy the conversion set besides the website? No offence to Blackbird models but they need to at least put half an hour into designing the web page

It's not perfect by any means. I had to widen the engine cowlings to make them match the curve of the nacelle and the fuselage needed a bit of filler here and there. The wings don't fit the recess in the fuselage roof very well but that was one thing I couldn't do much about.

Thanks Gents, much appreciated

Finally finished another project! A nice little kit to practice some scratchbuilding on - I've added a pitot tube, mooring point on the nose, wheel hub covers, interior seats, drilled out exhausts and intakes and remade the top exiting engine exhausts and float supports. I also had to handpaint the US Coastguard stripes on the Rudder as the kit decals were too big to fit. Tamiya and Humbrol acrylics used throughout. Enjoy!

Good idea - perhaps one in natural metal finish. What's the best 1/144 Lancaster kit out there?
