Tworrs 1/72 Airfix Lancaster B.III (Special) The Dambusters

That is a very nice build indeed - that's certainly a very acceptable brush painted finish. If you don't mind me asking, what were the problems you had?

Garry, that's a cracker mate.

The bomber command boss was referred to as Bomber Harris as it was his last name. The house REMOVERS a play on words. The bombers did not move houses, they removed them.
A very nice build Garry. I really must build a bomber one day.

Thanks Ian, now I understand :smiling2:

Great result Garry.
Operationally dirty. Right up my street!

Nice one. :thumb2:

Nice, and used looking.

Very kind of the committee thank you

Very nice build indeed Garry.

One little thing if i may. The exhaust stain on the most outer part of both wings should only go under the wing and not over it too. This is due to the camber of the wing. But please don't let my comment detract from your build. It's yours and you can do whatever you like. As long as you enjoy it. That is ALL that matters

Thanks Alan and duly noted

Great to see and worthy of all the plaudits....

Thank you Mike

Thanks Arnold the only real problems were the fit of the fuselage around the inner floor, and the wing roots were splayed, both were overcome quite easily though.

Garry, that's a cracker mate.

Thank you Paul.

Hi Garry, sorry, I actually meant what was it about the brushed paint finish that you weren't happy with - but thanks muchly for the notes on the fit, I'll keep that filed away for when I build one.

That is soooooo nice! Well done, you should be proud of it, I certainly would be!

Compared to the finish that I get with the airbrush, my hairy stick effort came up wanting, although I'm sure that with more practice I would get better. :smiling2:

Thank you Steve, I appreciate that.

[Tworrs]

I think we all understand, and indeed appreciate, that it is only with the help and advice from the fine folk on this forum that we improve.
AlanG kindly pointed out the patterning of the exhaust stains on the outer engines of the Lancaster, so a little judicious rubbing was applied..
Here is the result, which I hope is a little more true to type.

Garry that is one Beautiful Big Bird. Great finish on the build and the Camo. Oh and Congratulations winning the “Dogs” award. I’ve been looking at these Airfix bombers for a couple months now I’m thinking of getting one but a little nervous about the build.

Thank you sop much for your kind comments.
Yeah I too was a bit apprehensive about tackling the big bird, but I'm to stupid to realise what I can't do, so I just get on with it and hope for the best

I don’t think it was Stupidity maybe being overwhelmed and intimidated. Don’t put yourself down like that your too talented modeler for that.

Lovely result Garry

Very kind of you Lee, many thanks.
The "stupid" comment was said somewhat tongue in cheek, hence the wink emoji :smiling2:
