And since the first Lancaster STGB allowed Manchesters and Lincolns, why not allow them the second time too? People change, and their opinions too. So you're very much welcome with your Lincoln . V-P Thanks, The Lincoln conversion will be interesting to say the least, and although I have used resin conversion sets for wings and the like, a whole resin kit the size of the Manchester will be a challenge - I have been advised to use 5 minute epoxy glue which is both messy and very smelly so it might never happen. Time will tell. I am down to start the Buccaneer GB at the end of May so this could fit in nicely. I will await the official joining up time with anticipation.

Id be up for it, after all this is Brit Modeller Colin I saw some sprue shots of this at the Melbourne Model Expo on the weekend, they looked very nice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mancunian airman Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I believe the price for their Lancaster will be around $600 Aussie dollars (£328) but the postage will be a killer . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Would a York be eligible???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wikipedia says: "The Avro York was a British transport aircraft developed by Avro during the Second World War. The design was derived from the famed Avro Lancaster heavy bomber, several sections of the York and Lancaster being identical." So guess what I'm thinking? Sure, the York is eligible .

Now I have a dilemma - I can do a Manchester or a Lincoln as I have conversions for both. Or there’s one particular Lancaster II I want to build. And I only have 1 Lancaster kit (at the moment). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thom216 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 If you could add me to the list, that would be great! Have a few Airfix 1/72s just awaiting. Don't know where I'd put it, but sometimes the model comes first! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Pulfrew Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Oh why not, may I join? According to my listing on ScaleMates I have 5 in the stash 😱 So now a Tallboy, Far East Force or a Mk II for something a little different? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 I'm happy to say this, as a Single Type Group Build, is not subject to the madness of The Vote. We are already on the next year's GB list, starting February 29 and ending May 31 . V-P 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I have several Lancaster kits and a Manchester conversion set, just working on a Shackleton and did a Lincoln three (?) years ago, so by February might be ready for another largish kit.

vppelt68 Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 Fortunately, my cupboard can have more shelves added in between the current ones.

Mr T Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 As an update, I rashly bought the Mach2 York at Telford as I have always fancied building a York and so this will be my build. I will need until February to get rid of the ejector towers from the wings, but at least Didier realised the York has the same span as the Lancaster and shortened the wings. An 1980s Airfix Lancaster will probably provide some donor parts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Hills Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Are 'what ifs allowed', such as the Avro 684. This was a proposal to add a pressure vessel to the nose and was very similar to the Mk VI Wellington. I have the facility for production of the nose. bonson_the_avro_lincoln_prototype_type_684_by_kirovrampager-d5h6fsb by arhills, on Flickr Failing that how about the Canadian clear nose mailplane Lanc as shown in the Squadron Signal book ? Your thoughts please 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 Hello Adrian, this looks like to become a very un-restrictive and a wide variety of subjects for a Single Type GB, but I´m afraid the line must be drawn between the only-on-paper and actually operated versions of these planes. I believe that mailplane was operational? V-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
