Simon Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 Thanks for all the kind words everyone. I think that's me and Airfix Lancasters done for the time being. It's a good kit, but some of the detail is a little disappointing - IM(v)HO. I already have my next two or three (or four, and possibly five) builds lined up, so back to the workbench for me - I'm thinking 1/72 Airfix Blenheim IV...

Andwil Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Beautiful model and diorama. I particularly like the groundcrew painting on the mission marking. One thing bothers me a little though, would the hardstand be repaired and a steam roller used that close to a parked aircraft? Not a criticism of the wonderful work however.

I mentoned in the W.i.P. that I wasn't sure it would be allowed - I'd guess they'd usually use a smaller diesel roller, like these. Looks like theirs was u/s that day, so they borrowed someone else's... Cheers Simon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about one of the Lancs that got left behind during Operation Paravan? - repaired and used by the Soviets.......... Build details - and the story of Operation Paravan here. Great model - and fabulous diorama BTW Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken a couple of decent photos of the Soviet Lanc nose repair have recently been published in this http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235032321-lend-lease-and-soviet-aviation-in-the-second-world-war-helion-and-company-via-casemate-uk/ along with a few more 'new to me' shots as well, pics are not very big but it does mean they are 'out there' though. cheers T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flankerman Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Thanks Troy - I'll take a look....... I scratched my new nose on the Soviet Lanc - but I have a vague recollection of someone doing a resin job ?? Ken Found it! :- https://www.aviationmegastore.com/avro-lancaster-mk1-in-soviet-service--csd7226-kora-models-csd7226-aircraft-modelling-conversion/product/?action=prodinfo&art=119332 ......but probably no longer available.
