| Oh Lordy yet another Airfix Lanc' build. Hi Guys, Being as it cheers me up so much on this site i've decided to put up a few pictures of my latest build. Heres yet another build of yet another Lancaster  this model will be as WS * J and i've longed to build one like this as i've got a plate which shows the very Lancaster i'm modeling from. The Kit itself is an Airfix Dambusters but ain't going to be a Dambuster as you can see.  The plate !!  First job is to glue together the tail planes and do an overall coat of brown, then mark out where the green has to go then paint the camo' colour in.  Biggest bug bear is getting the nacelles to fit nicely and with some patience and alot of trimming they fit nice.  Added a few detail bits to the cockpit to make it look that bit better.l  On the Lancaster i'm modeling the pilots side window has no blister but the airfix has so to do this i use clear CD cases which has an edge simular to the airfix canopy and model glue melts this type of plastic, still i bit dusty and still needs a bit more to fit correctly

| Part two. Side window now fited to canopy and bomb doors in place.  Canopy is not yet glued onto the canopy but is an all round good fit and the side window looks a corker.  Bomb bay doors are from the Matchbox Lanc' kit and are a very good fit, with no fillering.  Tall boy bomb is also inside the bomb bay and is from the old Frog Lanc' kit.  Paddle blade prop's are from a Matchbox kit and doesn't really fit the Airfix nacelles but i'll make em' fit.  All the undercarriage is cleaned up,painted and a bit of a wash to add realisum.  The stablelizers are cut up and kinked at an angle to make the model a bit more of a ''one off''  Guns have been cut off and replaced by resin guns which look better. Thanks for looking.

| Nice one Ian! Am I right in thinking this is 'Johhny Walker - Still going Strong'? If so, I've got a few pics, mostly of the nose. Hadn't realised she had the bulged bomb doors though - must look properly at pics in future!!

No it's not 'Johhny Walker - Still going Strong', But '' J '' for Jane, serial n' NG206, This too has nice nose art with a women on the side with the name Jane just in front, also has WS J on the upper parts of the tail and big J's on the stableliser. Look at the picture of the plate i put up  ian.
