Lancaster B MK III, Finished

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

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

No your right I'll tone them down when I redo the lines

Thanks all for the really nice comments and feedback, I'm busy doing the ground crew to make up the diorama and will post pictures when complete, I'll correct the couple of inaccuracies that have been mentioned as well

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.......

Did the aerial config. shown in your two pics apply to the Mk I Lanc (in particular, in my case, to the Dambusters one)?

I honestly don't know Steve, mine is a MKIII but having seen the pics I got the aerials wrong so will be redoing them in time for my next show. Stona is most likely the best person to ask.

Great build Adrian, and a timely finish as I've just read this book, "Luck and a Lancaster", Harry Yates DFC. A good read about a normal Lanc pilot. I always want to build something I've just read about !

Well I have corrected the areas people pointed out to me and added a ground crew, there not fantastic but I hope they add a little to the model.

One quick question, when relocating the aerials onto the canopy I now have a small fogged area from the CA I used, can I use Klear to return this to clear?

Here's the updated pictures.
