Country:  |  Great job Ian. 
As far as the exhaust staining is concerned, use the weathering method to make them of a little bit different tonality.

Country:  | Fantastic job, Ian!!! I agree with Alex,too. I would find it very hard to part with it after all that work, but atleast you'll have made someone VERY happy!
As for the exhaust staining, I've seen photos of operational Lancs where it looks almost white - I think you got it pretty much right the way you've done it. | |

Country: | Nicely done. Wonder if it was common for the upper turret to sever one of the aerials during the heat of battle.
