Popular Post zebra Posted April 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2020 Here's my Lancaster B.II, just finished in the Lancaster STGB. Build thread is here. It's the Airfix kit, built as LL735, which was the testbed for the Metrovick F.2/4 engine (which went on to power the Saunders Roe SR.A/1 and was ultimately developed into the Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire) in the early postwar years. Conversion parts were 3D printed, and it's mostly finished with AK Extreme Metal (I think the only exception is the high speed silver where the spars were over-painted). This was my first go at 3D printing - the CAD for some of the complex shapes was a bit tricky, but it was a lot of fun. Thanks for looking Julian 76 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightningboy2000 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Wow, stunning work & interesting subject. Would like to know if that jet engine was enough to propel the aircraft on its own. Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan B Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Well that's something different and very nice it is too. Hercukes engines, an NMF paint job and a one off conversion so lots to catch the eye with this one. Duncan B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
