Thanks Phil. I've rethought how I approach some of these bigger projects and won't get as crazy on them as I might have in the past. At least that way I stand a chance at finishing one of them.

Great cockpit and nice milestone! Time for paint. Carl

Lancaster ND644 in 32nd scale
BlrwestSiR replied to FME erk's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
Ian, I think the panel on the engine cowling is from a Canadian built MkX. Likewise the rad shape. Which works out for me since Ropey is a MkX. Carl -

Sounds like the fun that is removing the raised "BDR" patches on Tamiya F-4 kits. I've done that 3 times so far. Carl -

Looks like the "fun" bit was very much worth it. Carl- 414 replies

Nice to finally see one of these kits being built. From your pics, it's doesn't look bad at all, especially for a first try. How are you finding it? Is there any issues with the different media and production processes ( eg.- cast vs.3D printed parts). Carl

Ian, any chance the pin marks in the bay doors will be covered by an inner door or bits from the PE set? Thankfully I'll only have to deal with it on one of my Lancs as the second will be a Dam Buster Carl -
Sue and I were talking about this last night. The trip, not Ernie smuggling us across the border. She brought up a good point that if the 2 week quarantine requirement is still in place, that would scuttle things as we wouldn't be able to afford being off for 3 weeks from work (1 week vacation plus the 2 week quarantine). Also it would then overlap into the start of the school year for the boys. So definitely will have to wait and see.

Had a huge scare last night with the Stratos. I thought I'd lost one of the shocks. I couldn't find it anywhere, even cleaned the bench up a bit looking for it. I started looking at options which mostly involved stealing the rear shocks from the same 934 the wheels came from. Called it a night at that point. This morning I looked again and still no luck. I finally decided to double check the kit box. The part is still on the sprue... -

Absolutely! -
I've still got my reservation booked. Just waiting to see if I'll be able to get there. Or more importantly, back into my own country afterwards. Carl

Sounds like my diecast Stratos. But it was the later road car racer with the huge aero lip and wing. -

Sectioned all four rims. The fronts needed two cuts, the rears one. Then I stripped the chrome off them. Took less than 5 minutes dipped in Super Clean. The fronts needed a new inner lip so made that from strip styrene. With a coat of paint on. Mocked up on the body. This is pretty similar to the box top photos of the actual car. -

Nice work there Phil. You guys are making me want to work on a plane again. Maybe after the Stratos.... Carl -

Thanks for adding the background to the choice of subject. Certainly nice to heat about personal connections to a model one is building. Carl -

Not sure the last time I asked Sue on her opinion of a model I'm building to be honest. Does choosing which one is sold and which one I kept count? -

Thanks guys for the feedback. I'm going with option B in gold. Carl -

Finally got a hit of time at the bench and pretty much used all of it mucking about with rim and tire options for the Stratos. The stock wheels and tires. The stock tires on honeycomb style rims from a Tamiya 934 The fronts would need to be narrowed a bit and I'd repaint the centres in gold. NSX rims and tires. I'm leaning towards the second choice. -

Haven't seen one of those before Gaz. Glad to see you taking another crack at it. -
Well, Bronco did the opposite and released a T-34 in 1/32 recently. * As in T-34 Russian tank and not the trainer plane.

I'm looking forward to another Lanc build on here. Can't wait to see you make the mods and changes. Theres a thread on BritModeler where they're working on a 1/1 cockpit. The poster had out up lots of photos and measurements so that may be helpful with you corrections. Carl
