Lancaster, at last

[Guest]

I think the Lancaster has come out very well Steve, particularly seeing as you have relatively little experience since your return to modelling. A lot of people would be very pleased with an outcome such as that. I think you've got the tone of the black paint just right, which is a notoriously difficult colour to work with ( or absence of light before anyone says anything!) and the top camoflage is spot on.

excellent work there Steve, you must be pleased with it. I think you are right about the narrow frames, I had a real problem with my Tiffy canopy in this scale and that is a bit of a mess, ended up freehand painting mine.

That's really nice work Steve, and as others have said, particularly impressive for a third model. I know that kit isn't without its vices but you seem to have overcome them without a problem.

The Ravell Rolls Royce Phanom II Continental (1936 I think), my first car.

Wow. My first car was a '74 Vauxhall Viva.

Sorry I missed this Steve. Internet is very hit and miss on tour, though I do try to keep up.

Nice job on the Lanc, it looks the part. You've definitely judged the colours very well indeed, the 'black' looks well scaled and the upper camo looks particularly 'right' to my eye. All that 'glass' is bloody hard work which is why I invest in pre-cut masks Your tape solution works though.

Roll out the next one!

Cheers

Steve

excellent work so defined on paint work ,less is more hopeing too improve with the right

equipment too get that realistic look as you have a fine tribute too all whom served .cry !!

That's well worth all the effort you put into getting everything just right Steve. It's turned out beautifully. Those canopies may not be perfect but no doubt we've all seen worse - and it's not exactly an easy canopy to do!

Well spotted. The supplied guns for the forward turret got lost and I made them out of lengths of paperclip wire. Their diameter is very slightly bigger than the one in the kit.
