1/72 Airfix Lancaster as W4308 UV-C (for Charlie) lost 23 January 1943

That is absolutely stunning work, I'm sorry I missed the WIP. I really like your custom paint mixes, no particular wisdom informing it, they just look right. 

 

Your last pic is I think the holy grail for many modellers, an image that looks a dead ringer for the real thing. That's a tribute to both fine modelling and skilled photography.

I remember when 'covered in rivets' was regarded as a term of abuse. How times change. 

 

That's quite superb. One of the best Lancaster models I've seen.

Brilliant history behind the build, reminding us of the human part of our chosen builds, most of which sadly has been lost over time.

The finished build is an absolute joy, congratulations 

 

Cheers Pat

If a warplane could ever be described as such, but what a gorgeous thing. With the added history this is a fine tribute to the crew and the courageous people of the Netherlands. Bravo,sir!
