Bell209 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Great story (I never pick on anyone who is multi-lingual - many Australians struggle to speak English as their first language!). Interesting that Bundaberg is referred to then as a 'tiny village' it's a city now (and home to the famous Bundaberg Rum)! Your Lancaster is coming along nicely. My first-run moulding also has the same sink marks in the nose - it must be a die error. Love your riveting - I'm giving mine a half-hearted attempt using the Trumpeter riveting tool after removing a heap due to the extensive sanding required. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 Bundaberg Rum !! Interesting Thanks for the kind words. I started her long ago, and I tried the mdc tool, so I've been too enthusiast at the beggining. The trumpeter Wheel is far more easier to use, but as I started the riveting one by one, I must carry on that way since the difference is too obvious I put myself in a nightmarish task with that one. Moreover, when looking at the Pics, the rivet on the fuselage around the wings have rivet that stand proud, I mean kinda like a locomotive skin !! Soooo, I will put back some Archer rivet... that's modelling whitout looking first at a proper documentation !! will have a look at your Lanc now. Sincerely.

Not yet, but I saw it on the Sea king build I think that it's a build of @Ex-FAAWAFU named a sea king that forgot to fly or kinda like that. sincerely.

CC Mine weren’t Archers; though they are good, they were too big for my purposes, so I used HGW rivets. They are fantastic, but there is a definite knack to applying them (& I have the scars to prove it!). See about 20 pages of my Sea King saga for details - it's about to re-start, so should be eady to find. Edit - here, if you want to get into rivets... (and Seakings, obviously).

belcherbits Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Re: Different sized air intakes Yes, they are supplied that way and yes, I have seen Lancasters that do not have them like that. I also have seen them as supplied. I'm not sure the reason for two different sizes, but I suspect that it may be a Lancaster Mk X thing, as Garfield Ingram who did such a superb job making the original masters had full access to machines in Canada. If you go hunting for pictures of the Lanc which is part of the Canadian Warplane Heritage museum collection, you can see the different sizes. That machine is an ex-Lanc 10. Since I don't know why they are different, I don't have any idea which machines might have had them and which not.

Life is full of mysteries Mike Belcher Hello Mike, We've got an explanation on here, seemingly, the larger intakes were fitted to the Lancs who are readied for the Tiger force. A kind of tropicalization ! Whatever, I'm an user of Belcher Bits and glad to be one ! Congratulations to Garfield, the fitting of the nacelles is really good !!null Rarely, if not scarcely a resin bit is so easy to put in place. But to find your products here in Europe is not easy at all, and Canadian postage is expensive, add to that the taxes... Sincerely. CC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsaircorp Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 Hello Dears, I received a pack from Colindale today ! More bits for the Lanc when I saw the result on the Spadgent build... I can't resist ! The Super hornet will be restarted soon, but I will finish some kits before.... Mmmmhhh... At least, I'll Try ! sincerely.

Bell209 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 The PE is fiddly at times but worth the addition. I'm leaving the engine intake screens off mine until after painting as I'm sure to knock them off otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsaircorp Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 Hello Spad, Yes thank, but now, I've got tools !! One more thank for showing me the way. I'll try to PM you some interesting work from SWMBO... She is learning a dog's behaviourist cursus. One of its homework was about dogs breed, she randomly got the Schnauzers. I tried to join it but as it is an exell file, it has'nt worked on BM. Have a great modelling time, and good job on the painting of the kitchen ! Sincerely.
