So then your saying the only bad area is the nose by the wind screen? Ron G

Hey Nige Ok, but what about the rest of the plane? Wings, engines, etc.? Are they as buggerd up as the Lanc? Thanks Ron G

Thanks Clunky I'll check with him.

Hey all I'm just wondering is the HK B-17E/F worth the $300.00 dollar price tag? Does it have any of the same issues that Nige has found on the Lancaster? I would like to do one basically out of box with just a few add ons, like aftermarket instrument panel, Eduard wheels and master gun barrels. So is it worth the effort or is my money better spent on somthing else. Thanks Ron G

I just found this build. HOLY S#^T!!! This is absolutely frickin awesome. I'm definitely going to be following this one.

Happy birthday Mike

WOW Carl you are an amazing modeller. This is some impressive work. Its geat seeing you working with your sons. I tried with my son but alas no go, so I'm working with my grandson on a Bandi kit hoping that the modeling bug takes, but it's hard to fight the video games

Hey Peter Yupp that was one of my most favorite TV shows. I wanted to be Robert Conrad so bad flying around in that bad ass Corsair shooting down all those evil Zeros.

Yupp, they flew Dauntlesses too.

Thanks Gaz

Took a break from the cockpit. I started on the pilot figure first coat of paint, I still need to add the detail painting and a wash then a flat coat. Ron G think He'll pass as a Zero pilot.

Can you get inoculated against this disease...

Thanks Peter Right now I'm working on the seat belts and instrument panel fiddly little decals. Then I have to tackle the dreaded landing gear. Ron G

Ok here are some update photos. I still need to do touch ups and add details. The exhausts are galvanicly grown metal I belive they are from a company called REXx. They are the same process as the old Moskit stuff. I found them on scalemates. They are an exact match to the Tamiya parts. They also make them for alot of other planes. So let me what you think Thanks Ron. G

Does that Lanc come with fries too...lol

Hey Bill Good start, I'm waiting on mine till you, Nige and others here find all the issues with this kit so I know what to fix on mine

Nice...but the prop needs to be spinning or it just doesn't look right

Thanks Clunky This will be awhile in the making still collecting stuff for the build and I need to finish the Zero. Ron G

Thanks Bir I'll check them out.

Must have took a really hard bounce and the nosed in??

Hey guys This will be my next project after I finish my A6M2b Zero. I kind of started this a couple of years ago but I ended up having to go in to the hospital for a liver transplant so it got shelved. So I'm going to try and finish it. I have the Brazin wheels/tires, Profimodeller brass gun barrels, G-factor landing gear and kits-world devil dog decals. I'm thinking about the Eduard or Yahoo's instrument panel. Any suggestions on other stuff will be greatly appreciated. this is the kit. this is the plane I'm going to do.are the decals. These are the decals. Going to have to get an extra bottle of glossy dark sea blue.

Hey Nige I found your next project seat B-24 seat

I also found a fix for the front turret issue

Hey guys This would make a great display diorama for the B-24J
