Alex Abdullahi Posted October 26 Posted October 26 (edited) Hi All, This is my build of the Lancaster Dambuster. I've used the 1/72 kit from Airfix. The open Merlin engine is from an Aires detail set and gun barrels and main wheels are from Quick Boost. For colouring I've used Gunze Acrylics and Alclad for aluminium finish. Weathering and exhaust streaks where done with oil washes and oil paint. The build was straight forward. A friend of mine a professional photographer took these photos, hope you enjoy it. (In the first picture there is a big gap between fuselage and canopy, the canopy is detachable and I didn't put it on properly, I only noticed after the photos where taken, the photo is more to show the engine) Cheers, Alex P.S. I got asked to show some close up pictures of the Merlin Engine, hence I am adding the 2 additional photos below. Edited October 30 by Alex Abdullahi 42 1 4
kapam Posted October 29 Posted October 29 Excellent build! I recently read "Chastise" by Max Hastings and the raid was a remarkable event of WW2. Your model is a fine tribute to the team that made it happen. 👋👋
TeaWeasel Posted October 29 Posted October 29 Lovely work, the subtle tones on the camo are really well done.
georgeusa Posted October 29 Posted October 29 A very impressive build of this Lancaster. Like Toryu above, a picture of just the engine would have been nice as this seems to be your focal point of the build. Thanks for sharing and hope to see just one more photo of the engine.
