Rob Probert Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 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. Regards, Rob 34 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! On 4/13/2020 at 8:35 PM, woody37 said: Is this the one you had at Telford next to Toms Halifax?

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
