Popular Post woody37 Posted August 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2021 At last, this is finished! When I started, there was no other alternative kit to do 'Admiral Prune'! I took one for the team again 🤣 I added some extra detail to the interior and rescribed / riveted the exterior as well as the Belcher engines and overall, an enjoyable build. Time to get something else on the bench, probably Eduard's new spit Vb/Vc double build. I'm semi-happy with it, the demarcation line is too low, most noticeable at the front but I aligned it with the bottom of the fuselage windows which must be too low on the kit. Thanks to @SafetyDad for sending me a set of decals although I damaged some of them in getting the positioning sorted and had to resort to making my own nose art decal. The WIP can be found HERE Thanks for looking, cheers Neil 80 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binbrook87 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Now that's awesome!! That paintwork is so crisp and the weathering just spot on. One of the best Lancaster models I've seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Excellent Lanc. I like the wear on the wing upper surfaces. It's so hard to replicate the grease, oil and boot marks up there, but you did fine. It is the nicest Lancaster I've seen for a long time. Makes me want to try one too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstaff Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Very nice, as others have said, the weathering is spot on I particularly like the exhaust staining over the wing tops Ian 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillF67 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Surely if it was lying on its back, the wheels wouldn’t be flat like that?🥴👍👍👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arfa1983 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 That's so nice. I can tell the photos don't do it justice. I bet it's a BEAST on the shelf. Just now, arfa1983 said: That's so nice.
