    Oh no not another Lanc'.... Yes but this one is different ! Its the 1/48th job.

    I've been a little busy just lately i've got to make two ''wheels up Lanc's''so when they are done i can get to having a look around the forum and do a bit of posting.

    This Lanc' is made as QB * P NG347 and was in 424 Sqd'. No modding just a nice build,

    though making it with closed bomb doors and closed wheel bay doors was a real pain as

    they didn't fit neatly together and required fillering out with plasticard.

    There has been quite a few QB * P models made with white codes but after several hours searching the codes were red not white ! I nearly did this one white too.

    Thanks for looking.

    ian.

            Beautiful build Ian, just superb. Must be a nice size in 1:48. Can I ask what kit it is and did the stand come with it?

              Another cracker Ian! It's so good to see an aeroplane in it's 'natural' element.

              There's been a bit of discussion here the last couple of days about the shortage of pilot/crew figures for aircraft - especially the larger scales. This shows exactly why they should be available! Any manufacturers out there listening?

              I take it this is one of the Tamiya 1/48s? Where did the crew figures come from?

                Hi Graham.

                The kit is made by Tamiya and is available once again in a new version. Its length is 17 inches long and the wingspan is 26 inches wide she's an hefty old Gal'

                There isn't any stand supplied with the kit. The stand actually comes from ''CORGI'' the die cast makers

                Hello Gern.

                This old kit [1975] comes with pilot/navigator/bomb aimer and an officer who stands on the floor with

                two fingers and is saying ''start up number two engine''. The new kit comes with a rear gunner but no upper turret gunner ! no idea's why tamiya never added this extra figure in their new kit, my figure is from my spares box. Heres the figures.....

                    She is beautiful Ian and so graceful, i bet you're running out of space and now you've added one in 1:48 scale lol. Five stars for me mate.

                    Have fun, John

                        Lovely model. I shall be taking a few pointers from it whenever I finally get to mine.

                        Cheers

                          Ian, superb build there, very jealous of that flawless masking on the cockpit and gun turrets. 5 Stars from me. Cheers Derek

                              Hi Ian,

                              I've lost count i've made over the years and some are boxed up

                              in my display room i have at least 30 Lanc's on show but these are in all scales.

                              Since i made this big un' i've been approached by a fella who wants one built up

                              but is unable to make one due to his hands so i sold it to him ! i regeted this so i've

                              dragged out another part started / bodged Lanc' kit which is aweful and this one will

                              be a wheels up version too, though it will be done in different codes and ''PropBlurs'' attached.

                              Checkout this quality box a crap ! There was mass glue marks everywhere

                              and who ever tried to make it was a novice, i got it off ebay for £10 :cool2:

                              Thanks for the coments guys means alot to me.
