Nice model Adrian. Like the gun turrets they are the very devil to get right & they look good (better than mine).

Apologies for bringing news. The aerials to the cockpit end according to my research when I produced my Lanc. are not quite right. A couple of picures showing I think are the correct configuaration. These are not my models just some I came across when producing mine.

Also add that I got a black felt pen & pulled this down the aerial wires which gave a nice effect. It did not turn the aerials black just a multi coloured grey.

Non of the above is criticism just observations which may help.

Nice job. I'm working on a 1/72 Revell Dambusters (Mk III). Its tyres have no tread. Yours do. Did they come with the kit? If not, where did you get them please?

Incidentally, a tread on tyres seems to be necessary only for breaking (I guess). But did the Lanc have brakes on its wheels?

Nice job Adrian, loads of detail to look at there.

One thing I spotted, the trails of exhaust staining, I think I read on here that you can hardly see the outer one as it goes under the wing, im sure that theres a couple of threads on here that mention it .....or am i a plonker and got the wrong aircraft? I'm sure ill be verbally shot at dawn if I'm wrong
