Victor K2 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Love the Varga girls montage amongst the sprue layouts. Are the Lancaster photo's of the B.o.B. flights aircraft or of "Just Jane"? Looking forward to this build as you progress. Bob. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twobad Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I'm very tempted by this model. The only thing putting me off is what I'd do with it when it was finished. I shall follow with interest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor K2 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Here in the u/k we have a series popular car home maintenance workshop manuals by Haynes, they have produced a series of workshop manuals on aircraft as well, the Lancaster is one of these and I can whole heartily recommend this book to you. It has detailed drawings/schematics and a plethora of photo's. You may have to look for a stockist on line where you are but they are still in print and readily available here in the u/k. However, looking at what information you have amassed so far, I doubt that you will need it. (still, like all good/bad modelers, we have to have all the info we can get and then some). Bob.

Clive You might not get the exact pictures but there are loads of Alberto Vargas and George Petty books about. Taschen was one,That may be out of print so ebay for that. I have a couple or three of Vargas. Petty books are or were hard to find though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
