Chaotic Mike Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Hello, No sooner do I put my Special Hobby Tempest to bed, than the largest model box I have yet to see lands on my doorstep. My goal is a medium-weathered, semi-see through, Lancaster B Mk 1. I fully expect someone to come up with vinyl masks for R5868 at some point, and when they do, I shall strike! Failing that, I I'm sure Mal's Miracle Masks (or similar) can be induced to create something appropriate. I can do sprue shots if you *really* want but you all know what it looks like. Back to work for now. Emerson, Lake and Palmer to keep me sane... 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAMP man Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 To paraphrase Jaws, 'I think we're going to need a bigger ...........' Might have to set up a seating area in the car park for this one! I'm in Box On Strickers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadsword Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I'd be interested to see the sprues spread out to picture the surface area and the box size! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mancunian airman Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Its got to be a 'MUST SEE' build I have already clicked the 'FOLLOW' button so I dont miss diddlley There has been much talk about its faults such as two dinghy stows, one each wing and wing tip lights etc so you will be the first to set things right . . . .

f111guru Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I'll perch on a tree lime for this one. Leaving the ground open for all the parts. That is if no one minds. I've found myself progressing to the larger scale over the last half year or so. Joints stiffing and the like. Watching with great interest and may over time get one of those HK kits.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Me too er, thats "I want to watch" and not that hashtaggy thing meaning I was screen tested by a fat film producer. Interested in seeing how the issues are attacked and fixed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaotic Mike Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 Erm... I'll do my best, but I'm not planning on fixing too many issues, not least because I don't know what they are! I think @Mancunian airman is your man there. Of course, should he alert me to quick fixes, I'll apply them but I draw the line at sawing... My Tempest gave me quite enough trauma there! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f111guru Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 We all know you will do your best. I bought 3 Trumpeter kits recently 2 P-51B/C's and P-47and plan on some treatments. Also a couple of the Revell P-51D's. Waiting on myself to finish the inside of my hobby building to start. In the near future.
