DaveJL Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Hello all, Here is my recently completed 1/72 Hasegawa Lancaster B.1 Special. On the 19th March 1945, PB996, YZ-C, was piloted by Flying Officer Phil Martin, DFC and bar, on an operation to destroy the Arnsberg Viaduct in Germany. Dropped from 12,000 feet, the 22000lb Grand Slam bomb impacted the Western end of the viaduct, along with four Tallboys, causing it to collapse. Extras used included Eduard interior etch, Eduard canopy mask and AML camouflage masks. Paints are a mixture of MRP for the upper surfaces and Tamiya 'Nato Black' for the undersides. The build thread is here A picture of the real thing to start: My effort: Beside my other two 617 Squadron 'Specials': Thanks for looking.

stevehnz Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Lovely job on that Dave, it was neat watching it come together. It is unusual to see these in the night bomber finish but it does look better than I thought it might, all credit to your finishing for that to my mind. Steve.

SAT69 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Wonderfully done. Seeing the bomb's size as compared to the bomber reminded me of the huge 50 megaton bomb the Russians dropped from a TU-95. It too was huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
