Coming on very nicely! Although I'm sorry to hear about the bomb racks too.

I am pondering them currently. Will post photo later, they are a pig and so fragile!!

Glad you're back at it James.......model on!

Fuselage together, not yet sanded joins.

Decided today to tackle a wing and to do wheel bay and flaps/ailerons at the same time to simplify.
Wheel bays the resin additions add a bit but not masses. The flap parts do look good though. One wing took about 3 hours.

Resin extras for wings/tail and wheel wells.


Wing pre cutting and post cutting.


Finally detailed wing compared to factory wing.

Fuselage together, undercoated, filled gaps, undercoated and painted wheel bays and flaps (I did these green instead of black just to add some colour more than anything). Think once gloss varnished they should come up well with a dirty brown wash.

Not sure on whether to pre shade as it's only 1/72 panels are small and close together.

Looking very good, nice work so far James.

Pre shade might be worth a go....not tried it in 1-87 yet but might consider it for my next wingy build

[Ancientmariner]

Had a few spare minutes, top almost preshaded, got to mask flaps and wheel bays before doing underneath.

Very nice James.
Question I have wanted to ask for a while! When pre-shading do you use an airbrush? Or hairy stick?

Very nice James.

I use an airbrush as you get the fade as you work out from the line if that makes sense which you don't with a hairy stick. Was a bit trial and error that as it is quite a small kit compared to what I'd usually pre shade.

[Mini Me]

It will be worth it if it works out in the smaller scale though.....standing by for further developments.

[Ancientmariner]

So the pre shade came out ok (though it doesn't show in pics because the lighting isn't that good).

Main three colours done and a coat of Mr Colour GX clear super gloss applied and drying ready for the decals. Wheels, under carriage doors, turrets and bomb bay door etc all to be added soon.

Looking very good James. Some resin parts are so fragile that clean up is virtually impossible. Glad the control flaps etc all fitted fine as I notice they were for the Tamiya kit. That's a very competent pre-shade.and paint job. You're making a cracking job of this lesser known Lancaster kit.
