Woljags' Avro Lancaster/Manchester/Lincoln/York/Shackleton - Personal Group Build

[Wurger]

I see guys.. Thank you for the info. To be honest I haven't seen any shots of Lancasters with a such marking on tails. So all is fine then Bob.

[Gnomey]

Looking good!

Do love that Lanc Bob and am looking forward to the Shackleton build, they were a hard and long serving workhorse of the RAF and I kind of have a soft spot for them. Sorry to hear about your hobby shop though, I guess online shopping is having it's effect.

Maybe it's a hint to get you into your attic airfield display..? (and you're welcome for the parts, glad I could help!)

[woljags]

Avro York

at last i've found the cockpit canopy for the York kit i've had laying around for ages and so as i couldn't sleep last night i started to build the fuselage of this kit for the collection,pics to follow shortly but this restore of an old build is in very poor condition

[A4K]

Good on ya Bob! Let us know if you need spares (if Chris lets you out of the attic of course! )

[woljags]

Cheers Evan will do

[woljags]

progress so far on york,as you can see its not in very good condition,i've added internal bulkheads and floor to stiffen up the fuselage and some long sticks to mount the main wings in place as the fuselage section where the wings mount is all but broken away,hopefully this will stiffen up once the glue drys and the body in filled

Nice work so far. I always thought the York was a beautiful aircraft.

[A4K]

Echo David's comment! Great looking aircraft.

[Wayne Little]

great progress too!

Nice work so far. I always thought the York was a beautiful aircraft.

Beastly and noisy things to fly in, flew all the way back from Egypt to UK in one in 1956 as the Suez crisis broke to all of 14 house at no more than 8,000ft except over the French alps. just to clarify, I was 10 at the time.

just to clarify, I was 10 at the time.

That's what they all say Vic!

Seriously though, what an opportunity even if not the best of circumstances...
