Alan Kelley Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Well, I was looking do buy something Luftwaffe to do last week, and remembered this- almost 4 years since I done anything to it- my Lancaster took up most of my modelling time. I reckon I put it off time after time due to the sheer size of it. The good thing is I now have a glass case big enough to house it once done. I will put some pics up of restarted progress over the next day or so. I have also to put up some pics of my finished P-47 Razorback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Carry on like this and you will have a master piece on your hands! Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Kelley Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Thanks, Martin. I just hope I can keep the interest alive long enough to finish it. There is a lot of flash to clean off the parts, and a lot of painting to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirfixAndy Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 So glad you've come back to finish it off.....the standard of work up to know is top class Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Kelley Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Wee bit of progress done- instrument panel and control stick painted. Next step is to put the AIMS decals on the individual instruments, and to put a drop of klear into each dial. Will put up more pics in the next day or so. Regards, Alan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 This is looking great and makes me want to go up into the loft and dig my kit out, but I would then have to make another extension to the shelf in my study, so I'll just have to be content to watch and learn, Cheers Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean1968 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Inspiring work, well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Kelley Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 AIMS decals applied to each instrument on the panel. Next step is to apply a flat coat to the whole panel, then put a drop of Klear into each instrument. I also have put the little clock into the control column.
