After a long hiatus - back with a Lancaster Mk.III 1/72

Hi @Rhino

It was difficult as well. I'm not sure if it happened because of the modifications I made, such as the empty nacelles for the missing Merlin XX and the open flaps, which were a nightmare to make fit, or if it was because of the kit overall. I found the landing gear particularly challenging to position (the base was made of PE) and keep aligned. There was lots of filling to get the wings straight as well.

Overall, it was very labor-intensive, maybe because of the extras I included.

Cheers

Alex

When i was kid there was a guy in my village who built a car round a Merlin.
Originally it was badged up as a Rolls Royce but Rolls sued him and he had to take the radiator grill off

I rember this thing going up and down the road past our house

Did it also splutter and died when going downhill due to the carburetor or was it already a later version with fuel-injection
