Undoubtedly there will be a mask for the HK kit. I can only guess that this will be around £15 if not more I for one, cut a mask for my 48th Lancaster, canopy and turrets, and I can see that it would be even easier on a 32nd with the clearly defined lines. I even put in a canopy frame in the 48th which again I shall consider (photo to follow) for the 32nd. Personal choice I know but it a case of doing it slowly and checking regularly that it touches the cockpit frame as it should. David

I'm new here and just checking around the forum . . . Superb work on the Lancaster Kent and I am intrigued with the foil covering. I shall have to look in to that process More over, where do the aircrew figures come from and what plans have you for the bomb trolley as I too would like to build some for my Lancaster. I am also trying to create a diorama for my Lancaster and these item are included . . . . My scratched engine trestle's and scratch Bedford OXD Thanks for sharing Kent David

Only seat cushions in a Lancaster are those located in the turrets but they were pretty basis and gave the mid-upper and rear gunners a numb bum after sitting on them for several hours

Or . . . turret glazing does look kinda 'frosted' on a cold Autumn morning does it not ?? . . . Therefore I suggest a touch of weathering to reflect a slight snow fall or a frost on the ground Issue resolved. I thank you. Lol David

Thats not bad at all, an absolute credit to your skill and dedication. Congrats on building a tribute to those who gave everything, I salute you for your contribution. David

I would be interested in some provenance of such Thanks David

I am glad I read all the pages cos I can appreciate the amount of work that has gone into this so far . . . . Hopefully you will come back again with renewed vigour and complete but its the engines that may be the stalling point ???? David

Hi there Just joined so I am looking thro the numerous topics . . . . Is there somebody on this forum that will produce decals on an individual basis with the view to producing them for any other buyers ?? I have researched a number of Lancasters (from a Squadron) and would very much like to have one done for the 32nd HK Lancaster :-)

Great video Thanks must go to Bomber Command museum at Nanton for under taking such a conversion

This is a conversion from Tamiya's Austin 10 Tilly vehicle. The RAF didnt use the Austin on the home front on RAF stations so I thought I would attempt a conversion to the Hillman Tilly. First time in this scale and it was built to complement the forthcoming HK Lancaster. I could list the mods undertaken but you could probably see the differences from the Austin just by looking. Many thanks for looking in.

I have just joined the forum so I am being nosy and looking at everything. I am particularly interested in your figure because I intend to get the seven man RAF bomber crew for my HK Lancaster. I think you have done a terrific job on those Americans and they will surely compliment your B17 David.

Looks good so far and like many Brits, I'm still waiting for the delivery of my 'pre-order' I for one will be watching with interest and already have ideas of how things need to be checked and improved such as the IP from Airscale

I would like to say hello to the membership. I have joined because I have pre-ordered the HK Lancaster and wish to learn/share ideas and solution to issues that will present themselves. I have built a couple of 32nd vehicle kits but cannot see a topic listing for this type of build, any pointers would be appreciated. Looking forward to 'meeting you' along the way David

I have read too many accounts of the air war to believe that this curtain was pulled over to protect against flak ?, a sheet of material would serve no purpose against shards of metal The crew in the cabin had all eyes looking out for other aircraft and potential falling bombs and having such a sheet would not be conducive to such. The British bomber crews never had flak jackets like the Americans but I do believe the ABC operators worn something similar for protection.

Many thanks for that Carl. I shall grab the set after Xmas.

As I am new to this scale, but not the Lancaster, where can one obtain Airscale stuff please ??

One would have hoped that with the price of the kit there would have been no need for 'after-market' but I will welcome some of the stuff such as the brass gun barrels

I thought the curtains within the cockpit roof were for shielding the crew from the sunlight ??
