Mancunian airman Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Rather than load my HK Lancaster with bombs I thought I would have them on display to the front of the aircraft. I based the builds on those similar to what the new Airfix Bomber re-supply set provides, one trolley for the 4000Ib and two for the 500Ib bombs. the load could be said to be typical of a Lancaster raid. The 4000Ib bomb was slightly modified to give it a 2nd skin, this provided the front lip seen on many photos, the rear section being just an empty shell for balance. The two crutches were also added to the bomb. The David Brown tractor was also slightly modified to give it a more wartime appearance, the nudge bar was removed and spotlight placed as seen in wartime footage . . . I intend to start the aircraft build in the New Year, the 80th anniversary of the introduction of the Lancaster into squadron service. Thanks for looking in Ian 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
