tomkil Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 You can never have enough Lancs and this is a lovely build of what is now a rather ancient kit. And I can remember building one when they were first released and I couldn't imagine models could get any better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Very nicely done. You can be proud of that one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head in the clouds. Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I second that, a very nice model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyJammedKenny! Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Ho, that's nice! Really masterful work on this one. For an old kit, it captures the look well, but I think your own skills brought it to life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Gruntfuttock Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 That's marvellous job on that golden oldie and it still captures the 'look' of a Land after all the years. Well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_W Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Nice build. The 1980 tooling wasn't a bad kit, especially compared to its predecessor with "Graph paper rivets" and clumsy moving features. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. I remember how excited everyone was. Almost as much hype as a certain Vulcan. Almost. 😄 Troffa - yours is a splendid job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 That has come up good. I actually like the look of these older kits rather than the recent one, seeing this makes me pleased with my purchase of one of these a couple of years back. 👍 Steve. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autle Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Cracking work Troffa it's turned out superb, last time I tried this old kit (so called for the kids) I gave it a special place in the bin. The four engine heavies are quite difficult to paint, so you've got one on me. Regards, Trace 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Very nice! Your skills have resulted in a model which doesn't seem to give much away to the latest Airfix tooling. Very well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin @ Freightdog Models Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Really great result. I have three of these in the stash, its still a nice kit. Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troffa Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 Thanks to all for your very kind comments- as has been said, it's still a nice kit- a bit better cockpit and turret detail would be appreciated, and may well be the case in the latest tooling- but it was an enjoyable build of a very important type. All of your support is very much appreciated. Cheers, Troffa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Very nice result! For me this Airfix 1980s tooling has the most realistic look of surface, all newer kits have for me overdone panel structure, not seen on a real thing... Regards J-W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
