Hirst89 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Hi all, I missed out on an Airfix Lancaster Grand Slam earlier. Does anyone have one or know where I can get one from? So I can complete my dambuster collection. cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody37 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 If you can get hold of a Hasegawa one as oppose to the earlier Airfix moulding, it's a much more refined kit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirst89 Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 Unfortunately I can't seem to find any anywhere. Looks like my project will have to wait a little longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirst89 Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 I've managed to get hold of one😀 Does anyone have a review or any info about this kit? Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilneBay Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I built one some years back. The additional parts necessary for the conversion provided by Airfix are rather crude. This was in the days of their decline when any new kits seemed to have been outsourced to the cheapest bidder. With effort it comes out OK. Be prepared for filling and fitting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wooksta V2.0 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 May be better off using some of the Grand Slam bits on the 2013 new tool Lancaster. The bomb bay section should fit and the new tool has far better props than the Grand Slam release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite painting mine in the lighter colours, I now believe they were in DE/DG looking at that photo of the three aircraft together with both schemes. This debate probably won't draw a conclusion, but that photo doesn't appear to show any evidence of lighter shades 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This debate probably won't draw a conclusion, but that photo doesn't appear to show any evidence of lighter shades I agree entirely even though like yourself I did mine in the LE/LG/MSG simply because it looked nice, it made a refreshing change from the standard scheme and there was some compelling eye witness evidence to support the lighter scheme although it seems now that this eye witness saw the lancasters post war. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
