The workbench has had a few things grace it over the last few months, but modellers block has got in the way. This has been on there for about a month now and I made some progress on it today. I've started with the wings using the Belcher engines and there will be interior etch going in to spruce up the cockpit and turrets. I wanted to do an early Lanc so decided to do Admiral Prune, Guy Gibsons W4118. I couldn't find any decals so will be using generic decals and made my own nose art using an image I found on the webpage below as a starting point so the credit needs to go to them: Admiral Prune – Bomber Command Museum of Canada From there, I built it up in MS Powerpoint, the only software I know my way around with ease, probably not the most conventional route, but in small scale, it will be fine...I hope! And the real machine here... The Tamiya Lanc has raised panel lines so they are getting rescribed. There is other raised detail on the wings such as the tape over the wing spar joins. This is far too thick for scale accuracy but I'm leaving them as they are. 3 of the 4 Bencher engines are glued on now and one wing is pretty much finished with the other wing in progress. There's a bit of extra detail in the gear bays too such as oil tank and longitudinal stringers. The starboard wing in progress. It's been rescribed but yet to have rivets added Cheers Neil
