Nice work!

Ó Ricardo achas mesmo que essas decals 3d têm bom aspecto ? Na foto não acho.

Spanjaard
those 3D decals look good, but the details in the original cockpit look just amazing!

Desert Marlin
The 3D decals seem like a mixed bag...

Ricardo Reis
@Jorge, têm sim... o problema é que o cockpit tem o detalhes ainda mais definido, é mesmo lindo, o sacana...

@Spanjaard, the details in the cockpit are more crisp than the details on the decals... it breaks my heart! 🙁

@Desert Marlin, yup, quite. :\

Ben M
You might leave a comment on the 3d decal page so people know what they're getting in to.

Ricardo Reis
@Ben, with GWH this is always the case, I had to do the same thing with my F-15 some years ago; Eduard has done it better, because they always have parts with details and parts that are flat, for this purpose

Vallejo Model Air Interior Green & Black for inside fuselage. Bomb bay, Vallejo Model Air Black & Silver for structure, BS Dark Green for bombs.

Fuselage together. I am using the newer Airfix version of the Eduard masks which seem to fit the clear parts ok so far...

Guy Rump
Very welcome as usual Roland 🙂

Guy Rump
Primer on and shading completed, ready for painting very soon. 🙂

Guy Rump
Thanks Roland, it's coming along very slowly at the moment...hopefully I will get a move on and make some further progress soon 🙂

Finally regarded as complete. My first attempt at a 4 engined bomber and my first attempt at rigging (aerial wires).

The aircraft denoted here is from 1943. PH-H (LM321) was the Squadron marking of 12 Sqn RAF. LM321 flew with a number of Squadrons including 460, 550 and 100. It was finally lost on the night of 10/11 June 1944 over Acheres.

Two pilots that flew in PH-H with 12 Squadron were Flight Leader Sqn Ldr FS Knight and Pilot Officer Thomas Forbes.
Thomas Forbes flew PH-H on 22 June 1943 on an operation to Mulheim whilst serving with 12 Sqn C Flight. Plt Offr Forbes was killed in action on an operation to Turin on 12 July 1943.
C Flight leader Sqn Ldr Knight and his crew failed to return from an operation to Cologne on 28 June 1943. Four are buried in Dutch cemeteries and three are commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial. Their average age was 23.

What a superb build. Nailed the colours and the "feel" of the Lancaster. I must also commend you on your consistently excellent work with Vallejo paints. When applied correctly they are outstanding and so smooth.
