My 1/72 Airfix Dambuster. Like the engineering on this kit although I had alot of fit issues- think it was me being fat fingered and not the kit. Annoying that despite the gloss coat some decals did silver....again me rushing this and not the kit. This build for girlfriend who is a massive Lancaster/ WW2 aviation fan.

Hi, I'm starting work on a couple of Lancasters, one of them is the Airfix BIII "Dambusters" kit - unfortunately it's not the new release (can't run to one of these just yet) but the venerable 1979 version. This one is in the white box, kit number 08004, although I think that the same plastic has kept on going, even making it in to the new 'red' Airfix, until just recently. I was looking at the mine in the kit and I was thinking that it didn't really look right; did it really have those ribs running along it? all of the pictures I've seen would suggest it doesn't.. Also I have a number of other Lancaster kits including one I picked up from a market (just in a bag) with a Contrail AVRO Manchester conversion. This one was a black Lancaster but the bag appears to have a number of other parts in it including another Upkeep bomb. Just wondering if any one can identify what kit it's from and if it or the ribbed Airfix one is correct: Also I have a spare set of wheels included - left is the Airfix wheel, right is from somewhere else - any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Karl
