CMSCHLOM Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) This is a very interesting kit from Tamiya, that one rarely sees built up for the contest table. I thought I'd try a relaxing build for the fun of it. Boy, was I in for a surprise! This is one big airplane! Molded in 1975, the plastic is warped, and it has raised detail that in many places needs to be re-scribed. Also, there is a ton of sanding and filling to do, especially when mating the engine nacelles to the wings. I also painted the plane's exterior with Tamiya rattle cans, which is like spraying a model with a fire extinguisher! But hey, I'm always up for a challenge. So I added 4 Doyusha electric motors, illuminating altitude lights, Eduard photo etch cockpit, sound effects via an MP3 player, and a Coastal Kit Base, and Paul Colombo Wood Bases. If your going to build a difficult kit, why not go all out! Like I said, I wanted a relaxing build!🤣 So I hope you can sit back, relax and enjoy the pictures. ( I even took Silver at the NIMCOM 8 Show last Saturday 22 June, in McHenry, IL, in the Diorama Category.) Double Click on my Name to view videos.

stevej60 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 One of the best presentations of a model you're ever likely to see the sound effect's and moving props are outstanding,not forgetting a great build of the Tamiya kit at the heart of it.Superb! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Joyce Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Great build, especially with using the rattle cans for the exterior. The diorama is very convincing as well. When viewed from above, it really appears that the Lancaster is flying just over the water. Congrats on a well-deserved award! Cheers, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flickr has really mucked up their site since changing over, but this should work: Try moving your cursor on the picture and my name should appear in the lower left corner, click on my name and should take you to Flickr. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
