Avro Lancaster B III Tamiya 1/48


Recommended Posts

Well, after a long and protracted 3 year build the Lancaster is finally done.

This is by far and away the hardest Tamiya kit I have built.

I added Eduard Etch in the cockpit, Belcher Bits resin engines, Paragon tyres and some scratch builing in the cockpit area.

The guns are from Flightpath.

Hope you like her.

I present the Picadilly Princess, a Mk III, of 424 Tiger Squadron RCAF, March 1945.

It is painted using a mix of Tamiya, Gunze and Vallejo acrylics.

Thats a really nice job , very neat and tidy , did you have any trouble with the rear of the engine nacells ?

Many thanks, folks, for the kind words.

In terms of the fit- I had a lot of sanding, building up, sanding, filling on the back of the nacelles. The belcher bits engines are certainly not shake and bake- far from it. But if you are prepared to put the work in then it is well worth it.
