DaveVery well done, so used to seeing a lancaster with Merlin engines. Forgot about the few with radio engines. Nice work.

FelixThank you all for your kind comments! @Dave yes it's a somewhat odd look but she looks like a rugged warhorse nonetheless!

David TaylorThe MK2 was conceived as they thought there would be a shortage of Merlins.

The more I fiddled with it the more things went wrong. Over done the weathering a bit, guns and aerial mast braking off,...

Mark SherwoodThank you skyfox22, Pietro and Neuling. I agree about the weathering should of been a bit more restrained. Thanks for all the likes fellow plaggy' bashers.

BozzerThese are awesome kits!
@Martin. The Rex mixer is quite large, however the KW Transit Mixer, is a tad smaller, and easily available on the current market. Get yourself one 😉
8 October, 18:36
GoldmanActually I have just got the KW Transit from Amazon. Always wanted a mixer. Another model into the queue...
8 October, 18:49
BozzerI picked up the Mack DM800 Rex Mixer, in good condition. It was a highlight for me. The 800 is a tricky kit, but I had to have the mixer to complete the collection. I plan to do the tri-axle option, when I get around to it. But I gotta admit, the Paystar makes an awesome kit.
8 October, 22:59
GoldmanThey are beasts. Just wonder why the rear fenders on the DM800 and Paystar mixers are so long - extending so much in front and arear of the tandem.
9 October, 04:26
BozzerIn the kit, they explained how to convert it into the tri-axle. They even tell you what kit to buy, to extend it! Pretty good marketing, at the time, eh? Lol

Curtis CadenThank you Martin Oostrom, Goldman, Neuling, Bozzer. I like construction equipment and have a 1:50 diecast collection. I built the cement mixer because I liked the Ertl/AMT models of the "International" line. I have built the 1972 Scout, the 2011 ProStar, the PayHauler 350 and both the PayStar Cememnt Mixer and Dump Truck.

BozzerCurtis, you need more stuff!
The 360 backhoe.
The D8 dozer.
And of course, some lowloader trailers, to carry them!
(Don't forget to get some awesome semi's, to pull them?)
My name is Bozzer, I'm your bad influence 😉
11 October, 00:53
Martin OostromI can attest to that. Ever since Bozzer showed up in a thread of mine, I've been buying truck stuff 😂
11 October, 06:03
Curtis CadenI have the AMT Caterpillar D8H Bulldozer, Lindberg 1968 Dodge + 1940 Ford + trailer, and AMT John Deere 310 Backhoe Loader. I will get more stuff and get more stuff finished. Thanks for the encouragement.
11 October, 17:36
BozzerThere's a very nice photo etch set, for the D8 dozer. I can't recall the maker at this time, but I've seen it and it's awesome. You can even get metal tracks for it, but I've only ever seen them online, once. We strive to do our best, but the main thing is, we just keep doing what we do.
11 October, 21:37
Bill NewcomerPretty cool. Those fenders look like they would like a tag axle added.
12 October, 00:35
Martin OostromThe dozer parts can be bought here czechtruckmodel.com/..r=search&s=Dozer
12 October, 05:45
BozzerThanks Martin. Those are awesome additions and I plan to get them all. I have a dozer built, box standard. It's the Caterpillar version, but the decals are actually "stickers" So, I plan to adjust that. My next attempt (yes, I already have another kit) will be the full PE version. I seriously need to hunt down those tracks though, because they looked amazing!
12 October, 06:01
Martin OostromThere are no tracks linked to the D8 kits. There are some new additions from a company called Garage Kit SCM Search: Garage kit
No clue as to where to buy them though.
I did find something else: papyhobby.com/collec..&gid=1&pid=1
On the same site, the tracks: papyhobby.com/products/d8-traction-kit-02
No clue if it's legit, but you can leave a rib behind if you want.
Sorry for highjacking Curtis!
12 October, 06:37
Curtis CadenMartin Oostrom I have enjoyed this discussion between you and Bozzer. I may just have to finish my Caterpillar D8H model. I was at Hobby Town today picking up some paint and saw that AMT has "Construction Bulldozer and Lowboy Trailer" $94.99 retail, but their price was $87.99 USD. I should point out to you and Bozzer that I did complete a D9R Doobi IDF armored bulldozer. The model is a Meng and has a ton of detail to it.
15 October, 00:16
BozzerCurtis, watch out in the upcoming weeks, for deals at Ollie's. You can normally pick up a truck or trailer, for $20 a pop. I've had many a bargain from there.

GoldmanGreat model. You cannot get more tough-looking than these old American trucks
8 October, 05:47
Curtis CadenThank you, Martin, Goldman, Neuling and Bozzer. My wife is not big on the distressed look of weathering and sometimes my weathering just muddies it up. So yes, it is factory fresh and my wife suggested the purple color for the cab. Bozzer the hood on this one work as good as the Western Star wrecker's!
15 October, 00:18
BozzerNot being a critic mate, but I noticed that between this and the mixer, you have the orientation of the vent, different ways? I believe that it should be vertical, not horizontal? However, on all my kits, the pins, or holes, were moulded so the vent was horizontal. I still think that it's an excellent kit though. I actually enjoyed doing all my international trucks. I think that I only have two left, to build now?
15 October, 11:20
Curtis CadenThanks, Bozzer, I got it air intake grill flipped. The only other International truck I found on eBay was the Logger and I am not sure I want to build that.

BetterTimes-HenryLooks great. I have the kit in my stash, will have to build it soon 👍
16 October, 21:50
Desert MarlinAfter two hours, the whole cockpit, wings and "fuselage" were together. I got totally sucked in after the first two hours and it really got in the way of other projects! So fun!!!
16 October, 21:53
Desert MarlinBiggest issue is the choice of D-Day markings. The white bands are 60 mm on each wing and on the booms. This makes the individual stripes 12 mm. Pretty easy once you see it. I started out with 50 mm white band. That was clearly too short.
16 October, 21:56
Desert MarlinModel Master Neutral Gray on the underside and Vallejo 71.043 (US Olive Drab) on top. Lots of Tamiya Panel Line accent black overall.

Desert MarlinI have seen claims that Olds first two kills were in this specific aircraft.
17 October, 00:27
Gary VictoryReally nice work DM....Lovely build.
Best story around Robin Olds in a P-38 was that he got behind a flight of 109's.....he was ready to open fire when his engines cut - dead. He had forgot to switch tanks to his internals when he jettisoned his external tanks. Instead of resolving his fuel transfer issues he just carried on lining up on the 109 and shot it down while in 'glide mode'. That's calmness under pressure for you.
17 October, 06:16
Never a ProGreat build! The nose wheel is up, does the the nose weight ball included in the kit need to be reinforced with extra lead?
17 October, 07:04
Desert MarlinThanks all…
The nose wheel appears elevated because I use a sheet of glass on my bench. The glass is 1/4" thickness.
17 October, 15:02
Desert MarlinNow if I can get my antenna insulators to compare with Bernhard Schrock's Sea King! Definitely a worthy target!
