Roland SachsenhoferDwarves like to grow in the shadow of giants: I would like to introduce you to a project that is close to my heart - if only there was a tangible and easily realisable Lancastrian in 1:72 or even 1:48! 🙂
This nice project from Amodel is not so badly done. I will be able to correct the most pressing ugliness, such as the exhaust stubs.

Roland SachsenhoferI am very pleased about your interest!
The Lancastrian now has a first coat of Alclad metal paint; more will follow. Somehow I have to get rid of the bright lustre of the panel lines, which are still too deep.

Roland SachsenhoferI was so annoyed by this bright flickering in the panel lines (which are still too deep anyway) that I have now filled everything in. With the expected drying shrinkage of the filler, the indentations will continue to show - but no longer so disturbing. Now you can see the levelled surface sanded down, ready to receive the new Alclad layers!

Roland SachsenhoferSmall update here too: you can see the masking for the final Alclad spray. Again, I hope the finish is not too far away!

Roland SachsenhoferThere won't be too many more pictures here - the Lancastrian is being finished. What is still missing here is the colour on the rudder balancing weights of the rudders - these are "KlearFix" droplets applied to pieces of wire - and a straightening of the dipole antennas on the bow. There are also a lot of little things that need to be "dabbed out" with a brush .... but on the whole I will probably leave it as it is.

gorbyFantastic result Roland particularly for 1/144, I'd have thought it was 1/72 from the photos.

Roland SachsenhoferThe very successful Lancastrian project is now complete, I was able to take a few pictures this morning. I did a lot of the work myself, the tyres are made of resin and I'm really impressed with the (purchased) deep-drawn canopy. I'll be doing this more often now! Because I'm quite interested in the Lancaster spin-offs, I got myself a Mach 2 Avro York as part of this project, but that's another story....! 🙂 I hope you like the pictures as much as I enjoyed this refreshingly "different" project!

NeulingA "different" project indeed ......... on the other hand nearly all of your projects are all little "different", so no problem with a modelling routine! 👍
