    A great build and a very informative WIP, Michael

    This is a very interesting subject and you have done yourself proud with the making of this model - it looks very fine indeed, How did you come across the general background topic? Michael

    Superb craftsmanship and very high quality paintwork. Remarkable! Michael

    What a superb build and with a context-rich background story, Michael
  5. Michael51
    Fine work with a context-rich account of the 1/1 version, Michael
  6. Michael51
    But do they look real? Yes they look very real - great work! Michael

    Outstanding work - I have no idea how you achieve that finish - beyond me. Michael
  8. Michael51
    Superb work, especially those sharp colour demarcations on the wing. I was unaware of the QANTAS use of these aircraft, Michael

    Most impressive results on both the trio of kits and the diorama pieces. I must commit to building the Blenheim Mk 1 after seeing these, then the Beaufort, then the Beaufighter, all in my to do hangar. Just how Australian deliveries of the Beaufort arrived so early is beyond me, but then so is your superb paint finish on that Beaufort in particular, Michael

    Well that is a really good result. Well done you, Michael

    My goodness, what a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. That paintwork sets new standards for realism, Michael

    I have read about those strakes somewhere but cannot remember where. I think they are something to do with enhancing structural integrity on early versions. I think such a fix was also applied to some Spitfires (I may be wrong). A photograph of another early Lanc. with strakes appears on page 48 of the Wingleader Photo Archive number 5 book. Michael

    Given my limited modelling skills, the earlier Airfix Lancaster was always easier - more forgiving , if you will - to build. The current version is, doubtless, better in some respects but it is not an easier build. I wonder how much 'better' kits have to be before we pass the point when, in a previous form, they were at their 'best', Michael

    It is a superb build, Michael
  15. Michael51
    That is a superb build, Michael

    Great work, again. That green Mk VIII does look sleek, Michael
  17. Michael51
    Fine work indeed - a really impressive build of an imposing beast, Michael
  18. Michael51
    That looks nice, really really nice.

    Nice work on the Cat and what a very neat log book! Michael
  20. Michael51
    It looks spectacular! By the way, the pilot looks even more spectacular! Michael

    Tony, It is brilliant work. It looks real: I cannot think of a higher accolade, Michael
  22. Michael51
    That looks brilliant, Michael
  23. Michael51
    A beautiful piece of work! Michael
  24. Michael51
    Fine work - the framing on the cockpit is impressive, Michael
  25. Michael51
    It looks great and all the more so for a good, context-rich story, Michael
