      I hadn't noticed actually. I wonder if it is a Typo as I thought Tamiya only did a 1/48? Fitted ok, though two are in wrong place and had to be cut as I only noice once glued.
      Fit wasn't too bad overall I guess, bomb bay was a bit of a pig, I did a bit of surgery and used some non standard fitting.

          Is that the rare Lancaster dive-bomber, then?

                      HELP NEEDED!

                      Managed to tear the small "S" for the tail today, also the roundals on the wings (blue and red).
                      Cannot find squadron code markings with yellow edging anywhere, not the small "s" anyway, it's about 2-3mm shorter than the big S.
                      Does anyone have any of the 3 things above spare? I will of course pay postage.

                        So since last time, more torn decals, more swearing but also some progress.
                        I have done all the props, undercarriage doors and also under carriage before adding it to the model.
                        Sourced new roundals for wings but struggling to find a replacement for the fuselage. The S on the tail I couldn't find for love or money so just sprayed over it.

                        Wings black lining on top I have sprayed as decals kept tearing.

                          More tearing today. Have ordered a full new decal set. The roundals for wings came today, applied them and they went on like a dream!! So must be age of the ones in the kit which I think looking at it are 2007, so coming on 20 years old.

                          So next I ordered a new decal set. Had to spray out the one side but it's for the best.

                          Does anyone know, did they have different registrations on each side of the fuselage? I only ask as the decal sheet I have seems to indicate this (see below). Any help appreciated as I want it to be almost accurate even if not completely.

                          Anyway as I have got as far as I can before more decals arrive I decided to start making a base.

                          Hopefully it's going to come together in the week or 10 days.

                              No โ€” the letters indicate the squadron (the group of two) and the plane in the squadron (single letter), so it would be very strange for a plane to have two different sets at the same time. But as I said in your other post about this, ISTR thereโ€™s a restored Lancaster that deliberately has different codes on it, and the decal set is probably for that one, not for a wartime plane.

                                Continue the base today, made it more of a plinth so there's space for wiring and batteries etc.

                                Also used grout on the top this time as I assume it will work ok and as I already have it it's free rather than buying more stuff.
