| 100% scratchbuild 1/48 lancaster Hello! This will be finished in two months. The old Tamiya kit has wrong airfoil sections, but the kit was released more than 30 years ago. The model is mainly in stylene plastic. Last edited by ppopsie; 09-22-2007 at 08:55 AM. |

| ".....you know there's a thin dividing line between inspiration and obsession, and sometimes it is very hard to know which sides I am..." I can tell it today. A display cockpit is put on the left wing root. |

| >did you make the cockpit? Yes. Am thinking to build two sets. One is for display and the other for action/gimick purposes. |

| Did you make all that Lancaster from metal pieces or plastic pieces? Or is it the Tamiya model.

| This is 100% handmade, no, 99.9% because I copied two radio sets T1154-R1155 from Tamiya Mosquito as you can see on the previous cockpit photo. The fuselage and the wings were of heat pressed stylene sheets supplied by Tamiya-san, on wooden molds which had been made by me. Wing ribs are in the same material. |

|  >always admiredPlease don't mention that. If, to bring the old Tamiya kit up to the level I wished, I would have to correct the; wings/ profile and sizes fuselage/nose section canopy tail plane fins engine nacelles landing gears propellers and spinners. the "Upkeep" bomb etc etc. Then I can say it is far easier to build the model from scratch than you may think. |
