corsaircorp Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Hello Spad, You did a great job once again ! Both on your now lovely kitchen and the Lanc ! Finally riveting the way I do is also fine... Except for the fuselage ! I have now the last PE set for my Lanc too, it will be faster than doing that super detailling scratched ! I really like the way it's going, god job mate !! Just a question.. Did your Lanc have the H2S radar fitted ? If not, you have to sand down the proud circle on the underside. I sanded it on mine, since Phantom did'nt carry it Once again 👏 Congrats my friend !! Sincerely. CC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not actually building the phantom, I’m building PA 474 when she was painted as the phantom when @isaneng started flying in her. From what I’ve seen the proud circle is there so I’m leaving it in place. I think I’ve done enough sanding for one aeroplane. 🦉 jont. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isaneng Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Hi Johnny, Yes, the raised circular mounting point is clearly visible under the fuselage. There is a corresponding round plug in the internal walkway that covers it, just visible in outline in the non-slip covering on the floor. Kitchen is looking good fella, see, everything coming together slowly! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 5/16/2018 at 12:57 PM, Biggles87 said: The problem with my HGW rivets was of my own making, as usual. Instead of rivets I used something called ' silver lines ' which do not stand proud and disappeared under a coat of paint. The Micro-Mark ones, as well as being proud, were quicker because there was no film to remove after they were applied. John These I hope stand proud. 🤞 On 5/16/2018 at 1:55 PM, John D.C.

The Spadgent Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 Thanks for all the kind words guys. Rivets have continued in small amounts over the past few days but photos would be boring. I have found that two packs was not enough by a lloonngg shot. So I cleared the BIG yellow of there remaining four packs. They will arrive in a day or two. 😃 nothing done over the weekend as the boy has had his first fencing comp. he was seeded 42 of 60. Not bad for a first attempt. Believe me these kids were good! 🤺 Any hoo. I hope you all have had a great weekend. More progress next week, I promise. Johnny. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first time at Old Warden...what a great day!!! Wow. What great shots! You did better than me. I'm a complete muppet. I planned to ride over to Hendon after the Giro d'Italia stage finished. Plenty of time to get there... well, there would have been if I hadn't forgotten that I'd paused the coverage earlier in the day and was watching with a delay. I checked the time when it finished and was horrified to see it was ten to five. Jumped into my cycling gear and running cyclecross mount out of the door, I set off hammering like a loony across Norf London.* It was looking possible until I missed the turn to Colindale and ended up at the Hendon station. Heading back up the Edgware Road I heard the roar of 4 Merlins somewhere up above. I pulled over just in time to see her pass right over my head. * Still, got a couple of Strava KOMs, so not a completely wasted trip. 😃😅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) Wow Johnny Kitchen looking good and think about all the Brownie points you're earning !!! Lancaster looks wonderful and I am sure that the riveting efforts will pay dividends when it catches the light when finished. Top marks fella. All the best Chris P.S reason for edit. Premature with pressing the submit button. My missus has told me about that !!! Edited May 21, 2018 by bigbadbadge As above 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders_Isaksson Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Looking really nice! I hope you don't mind me asking but I'm just now reading up on the Tamiya Lanc and someone (somewhere) mentioned re-positioning the rectangular side window to a more correct location. Can anyone give any clues as to where the window should be moved? From looking at photos it seems the proper position is a bit further aft and up, but I am open to other information on this issue. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Why thank you. If you look through this thread you’ll see where to move it to . I’ve moved mine, I wasn’t going to but I figured in for a penny and all that.😂. It’s slightly back a bit. Not too much of a pain to do but be careful all the changes can be a time sink and a half. will you be doing a WIP?

The Spadgent Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 Look what arrived. Also the kitchen got finished so I can paint it. 🙀 I have been intermittent rivet man and getting there slowly. and a little closer. they’re looking good I think. Just want to not be doing rivets for the rest of my life you know. more soooooon. Johnny 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossington 2 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 About those windows. While digging into the loft for something I didn't find, I did come across "Scale Models" the Jan 1976 issue, where the Grand Slam issue was being reviewed. From C. Rupert Moore himself: "... the larger square window on each side of the fuselage should be moved back by .3 in.- this is an error also on the MAP scale drawings which should be corrected; a glance at any photograph showing this window on a full size Lanc. will show that the window is over the L.E. with its aft edge just forward of the centre line frame of the astro dome. The smaller window in front of these should also move back .125 in. to be correct." Back then the kit cost £7.99. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
