phantom Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 OK, here is my first. There is better builds out there I admit. But I am happy with the way it turned out. 1/48 Tamiya Lancaster, Tall boy edition I got in a trade some years ago. The bomb bay came from a ARCer in England who was very kind to offer me his unneeded parts. The decals are of course from Leading Edge, the engines are resin replacements from Belcher Bits. A major improvement over the kit engines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kg4kpg Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Wow, really nice. Lancasters are awesome and you really did it justice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Helo 53 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Great looking Lancaster , phantom . I really like the color scheme of grey , bare metal and white ; nice airbrushing of all three colors . Another thing I noticed is that the Canadian's seem to have the good sense to place their maple leaf insignia's well away from the fluro orange outer wing panels . this makes decaling a model much easier than the American's whom seem to prefer placing their Star's and Bar's half way over orange or red outer wing panels , the color always shows through the white area on the US insignia. I sure do like the decal markings on your Lancaster . John . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aaronw Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 Looks great, and I see you are another speed demon. Glad you were able to save the racing stripe decal on the tail boom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flyboyf18 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 D@mn those were done quick!!! Wish I could build as fast and as good!!! I'm still messing with interiors, which of course is my fault I guess? Great work guys! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winnie Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 As one of my friends used to call them, he's by the way a very experienced pilot who amongst other machines have flown the canadian equivalent, the Voyageur. SO the kit: Academy HH-46 D, Kit decals, Eduard Zoom interior. Some flaws, the Mr. Solution and Mr. Setter were too strong and left CRATERS under the decals, much to my chagrin, and the decals did not want to "snuggle" properly. On the other hand, if you disregard those little things, and the fact that the APU exhaust is still in the tweezers on my workbench, it did not turn out half bad. I chose to do the exhaust mostly black this time, but miiiiiight be convinced to change it at a later stage. Colors used: Orange, mix of red and orange from Vallejo Gray (16061) from Gunze Aqueous acryllics black also gunze. Weathering: Mig Pigments wash (dark) and closs/flat coats by Testors acryllics. Cheers and be gentle, but constructive criticism is welcome (promise I won't cry) H. Together with his friend the Labrador on the shelf! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 (edited) 1/48 Revell Monogram Canso. RCAF 1960, 103 rescue squadron Goes along nice with my 103 sq. Lancaster No one has ever done these markings so I sourced them from spare Leading Edge sheets. The references are from a Patrick Martin RCAF reference book. 11067 is one of the few Cansos that have the same nose as you get in the Monogram release of the PBY. A resin replacement nose does exist but I am reducing the amount of money I spend on this hobby. OOB is what I am trying to go for. Except of course using stuff I all ready have in the stash. Its a VERY heavy tail sitter. In the hull are two used up model master paint jars and an entire bag of fishing weights in the nose. Its still not enough, a light wind during photography was enough to tip it backwards. Edited March 19, 2010 by phantom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
