MickyNice Lanc, Gary!! I have not seen it before when you have posted it originally. I built the Revell one last year and I think it is the same matrix as your Hasegawa. Congrats my friend! Excellent work!!

Gary VictoryJv, Skywalker, WhiteGlint, James C and Neil, Thank you very much for your kinds comments.
Neil, Not to much issue getting the kit together has i recall. Just the normal advice, take your time with the test fitting and everything should fit fine. I think the engine nacelles are the only area to watch out for. A little filler on top i think?? Also the interior detail is really thin on the ground, the kit decals for the instrument and engineering panels are really poor. Get a eduard interior set which will look a lot better. Also the decals did break up on me (i think due to age and being stored in the loft). The Wing roundels are painted on has the 1st one just broke up into a million pieces. So using the second one i made up a masking template and used that. Touch ups on the PO-S and fin flashes was required. Otherwise a straight forward build. 😉

Neil PatrickThank you very much for the tips Gary. If my turns out half as nice as yours, I'll be delighted. I will take your advice on the interior and get the Eduard set. I've also invested in some Master 303 barrels which look great. Now all I have to do is summon the courage to start!

AlbertoThat Lancaster is a masterpiece. I love it. I have an old one in my stash from Matchbox. I would be delighted if it turned out half as nice as this one!

Paul MooreLooking at reviews, it seems like if you're not concerned about internal detail, the Hasagawa kit externals look better than the Airfix. Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Gary VictoryThank Paul and Gorby. Very kind of you.
Paul, I haven't had eyes on the Aifix Lanc so i can't really make a comparison. The Hasegawa Lanc is really lacking internal detail, the cockpit is just blank with decals to provide the detail which are not very good. I did get a basic eduard etch set to at least make it a little more respectable. Externally i think it looks fine out of the box, the decals gave me a problem but i think that was more down to age.
Overall i would recommend the Hasegawa Lancaster.
Hope that helps Paul.

Bruce HuxtableSuperb work, Gary. Very evocative of the reality of these bombers, and the courage of the young men who carried out those dangerous missions.
