Tamiya 1/48 Lancaster

I've only bought a basic etched cockpit set and seat belts as I don't expect to be able to see much through the canopy. Eduard do a fair amount of after market stuff for this kit.You could spend a small fortune on it.

You could indeed! I did toy with the idea of doing a detailed and open (obviously) bomb bay but chickened out in the end.

I did, built it all, looked great fastened it up and can't see a thing, I know its there though and have a brag sheet showing it for shows


I even replaced all the bomb bay and installed the PE set, again you can't see a thing lol

I've glued all the windows to the fuselage halves.Most were painted over on the real aircraft.So I've put those ones in with superglue as im not worried about them fogging.There are 4 individual ones I've put in with Gator grip.Need to mask them before spraying the interior.Instructions say to paint the cockpit area German grey!.Research suggests most were black forward of the main spar and interior great aft of it.So that's what I'm going with. I've also glued the Eduard photo etched pilots and flight engineers instrument panels in place.

I've made some progress on the interior.Eduard PE fitted,seats built and everything sprayed with Revell no.9 Anthracite enamel.Ive used the kit decals on the radio set.Seat cushions to paint next then seat belts can go on.

Nice work Dave, the detail going in is very good.

Ive been doing some research and found some Lancasters had brown seat covers ,Some had green and interiors were either black or green in the cockpit area .And Tamiyas colours are different again!.So ive gone with a black cockpit and green seat cushions.I've also glued the Eduard seat belts to the pilots seat.
