Alan Kelley Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) 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.

Alan Kelley Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 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.
