Dambuster Lancaster (1/32nd scale)


Recommended Posts

I completed this huge model a few months ago - it's the stunning HK Models 1/32nd Lancaster combined with Iconic Air's Dambuster Conversion. The conversion set provides the modified bomb bay set up, the bomb itself, as well as a decal sheet for the 617 Squadron aircraft. I have chosen Maltby's aircraft, coded AJ-J.

 

Paints were from Hannants' Xtracolour range of enamels.

Absolutely gorgeous! What is the kit like to build?

Thank you. I found the tolerances very tight and you need to get everything lined up perfectly before joining the fuselage otherwise you'll hear a very unpleasant crunching sound... The engine cowlings again took a lot of careful alignment and are a tight fit to the wing. The transparencies are exceptional and some of the clearest I've seen. The last problem is the sheer size of it and it's a big model to wrestle with!

Is this the one you had at Telford next to Toms Halifax? They looked fantastic together. Cracking beast :)

 

Yes indeed it was - and thank you!

Good to see that again Rob.

When are you doing that 1/24 Mk IX Spit?

The Spit remains on the to-do pile, Frank. I need to summon up the courage to tackle all that resin.

 

Regards to all,

Rob
