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 🙂

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

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.

Another aircraft to add to my Japanese WW2 stable. Unfortunately, this one is an old tool but hopefully I can do it justice. 🙂

Mark Sherwood
That will be a bit of a lump. Even in 1.72, I'm in.

Moreno Baruffini
Massive! Following for sure!

Stephen Lesley
Absolutely following.

The military version of the US built Lockheed Model 14 Super Electra was received by the RAF just before WW2 named the Lockheed Hudson. 🙂

Pulling up a seat for this one. An unsung aircraft of WW2, in that it doesn't get enough recognition for the service it performed. Also, some of these older Airfix kits are better than most people realise. All comes down to how well they are built.
