Tamiya Lancaster

Björn Svedberg
That's a really nice looking Lancaster! 👍 In which kit did you find that nose art?

Soeren R.
What do you think about this kit? Ive heard some bad stories about it.

Spanjaard
wow. it looks fantastic!

Brian Jones
Bjorn Thank you for comments the nose art decals is from

War Birds series
Lancaster Bomber 'I'm Easy' & 'Lonesome Lola'
Kits-World 1:48
KW148038

You get two nose art plus the Identification numbers on the side. Very good quality Decal worth the cost

This kit requires some patents its not as easy to put together as modern Tamiya. Main issue for me was a few raised panel lines that were sanded out when i joined the seams I attempt to put raised lines in with 0.5 copper wire super glued where i had sanded. This gave an acceptable look for me anyway, especially when weathered.

The rest of kit went together well. the wings are not glued to air frame and are still removable this makes work and painting easier as it is a big kit.

Would i build another ? Yes I would if i had somewhere to put it !

Soeren R.
Thx for the handsup and it still sounds good and the result is really nice. 🙂

Tim Heimer
Nice work! looks good

Spanjaard
"Would i build another ? Yes I would if i had somewhere to put it !" ha ha ha, i wonder where i could even put the first one 😉

Thomas Bischoff
I like your Lancaster! It's on my "one day" list as well 🙂 ... I will put it right next to my Catalina 😉

Martin Oostrom
Nice Lanc. Before my "one day" list can materialize, I need a "won the lottery, now I can build a bigger house day" 😄

Stephan Ryll
very nice work 👍

Brian Jones
I'm guilty of build first and worry about where to display them afterwards , my stash of 1/32 kits has increased by 8 over the past few months
1/48 is the smallest I build but as old as the Lancaster from Tamiya is its well worth finding somewhere to put it once it's built.

Nice shading on the Lanc paintwork Brian but 8 kits really! I've been know to buy that many in a day! I need to join "kits anonymous" for my "Plastic" addiction.
Hey Martin... I hear ya! I want a bigger house maybe a whole level to be my model museum!

Brian Jones

Choppa Nutta
Looking good ! 🙂 ... set this up outside in the sun and take some pics, it will look real 😉

Spanjaard
truly inspirational build indeed. i certainly agree with Choppa!

Brian Jones
Thanks choppa
Good idea I snapped them at the bench or on the floor but outside photos in natural light should make good photos
And thanks Spanjaard for your complement

Tim Heimer
Nice Dio! Great work and idea!

Kerry COX
I do hope you post some images from the stbd side, as there must be a story there as well.
Well done. 👍

Thomas Bischoff
