Deon Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hi all, Might be a push to get this in on time but here's a start. Just blanked off the excess windows. Need to cut some new rear ones. Some lovely decals supplied by Wooksta and Chuck, thanks guys, so i hope i can do it justice. Ive got the Eduard etch but I might have to dig around for a pair of props. The revell Mk 1/3 seems to have two different types. the french Sar mk7 seem to have only one? Anyhow here's my progress so far. I took the long winded route and filled the windows with plasticard rather then use the supplied windows, that way I could make sure they were filled to the right depth rather than get filled in with filler that might shrink back over time. The dorsal turret will get filled once the halves are together. Any comments, tips etc gratefully received Cheers deon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Interesting! This should be a different and colouful build. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The wooksta V2.0 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 The Revell Lanc has needle and paddle props - early & late - and I suspect that the French aircraft, being refurbished, have the paddle props. Check your references though. They may have had the Lincoln fins and wheels too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz greenwood Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Deon. Revell supply a turret blank, which may help you with blanking turret off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowmk9 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I can only echo what the others have said about the props, fins and turret blanking plate. I'm looking forward to seeing this one done, it'll be a dark blue scheme I presume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz greenwood Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I like the French scheme it's quite colourful in Blue and Yellow trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I might have dug myself a hole definitely time to root about for a set of matched aeroclub props They look like paddle props to me so I think, although i can't see any eveidence of the B1s that were sent to france, hence Im going for Mk 7. cheers deon Deon.Revell supply a turret blank, which may help you with blanking turret off. Lol,. im a dork! I didnt even check the parts, Thanks daz you saved me some time and embarrasment! Cheers deon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive seen pics of one in a very dark blue, almost black like 50s USN fighters and others in a lighter almost Royal blue. ill have to make a table up with colours, markings and Lincoln parts, based on the photos and profiles I can find othwise Im going to end up producing some awful hybrid Cheers deon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
