    Ohhh, I could be a happy guinea pig for one of those.

    They look to be 3D printed. I'll be curious to see if the production ones are the same or if they're cast.

    I posted this in the Lancaster tips and tweaks section but just in case I thought I'd post it here. Resin2Detail has just released a pair of pilot's seats for the Lancaster. https://www.resin2detail.com/product-page/1-32-avro-lancaster-seat-upgrade-for-hk-kit-no-belts

    Resin2Detail has just released a couple new pilot's seats for the Lanc. https://www.resin2detail.com/product-page/1-32-avro-lancaster-seat-upgrade-for-hk-kit-no-belts I've got a pair on the way so will let folks know what they're like once I have them. Carl

    WNW?

    And Ian beat me to it! I wonder what they'll have. Carl

    Nice Universal Carrier. I have a Tamiya one in the stash and am trying to figure out if you can fit the Riich running gear to it. Carl

    Love it how we all help out one another.

    Sasha the welding girl! I think yours is the first I've seen in the wild. Have you seen any of the Brick Works figures?

    The interior looks spectacular. Carl

    Thanks @Bomber_County! I can't recall if it was Patton or not but definitely heard that before. I think the Germans tried concrete armour too.

    Gaz, I feel your pain after just having finished building effectively two sets of tracks for my Firefly.
  12. BlrwestSiR
    Well it took a couple nights at the bench but the tracks are done. Once I got into a rhythm, it went fairly smoothly, if a bit repetitive. I left off a few random duckbills as they tended to get knocked off and you can see the odd one missing in pics.
  13. BlrwestSiR
    Looks good Gaz. Nice surgery work on the doors. Carl

    Nothing like a good distraction. Can't wait to see this. Confession time. I've yet to build a 190 in any scale.

    Rob, is that a Wave MaK kit? How do you like it? Carl
  16. BlrwestSiR
    Peter, the newer sets of individual link tracks go together much easier these days. A bunch let you put several together at the same time and include jigs which speeds things up. For example, the Rye Field Panther tracks have the pins all evenly spaced so you glue in several at once. The kit tracks aren't bad from an assembly point. It's just they don't have the duckbills on the end. At least I can use them on an Achilles.

    Stunning looking Razor. Thanks for describing how you do the prop too. Carl

    The duckbills arrived yesterday. As expected, they're made to fit Bronco tracks only so fortunately I had the foresight to grab a set of those at the same time. The Bronco tracks are more pieces than the Rye Field ones with 5 parts per track- front and back pads, one pivot, two end links. The duckbill set replaces one end link and they're keyed to fit the ends of the pivots. I ended up assembling the pads and pivots first so everything stays flat and then adding the end links on after. So far after 4 hours, I've got one side almost done.
  19. BlrwestSiR
    Thanks @Peterpools! The extra tracks aren't too bad to assemble. Just a bunch of cleanup mostly.
  20. BlrwestSiR
    Indeed, fantastic news.
  21. BlrwestSiR
    Yea, it was the only perk I got while I was in. Everyone else told me I was too young to be in there. I think they meant I looked too young.

    Hmm, I didn't get a weight put on it. They had an attractive intern put pressure on it for me. I was too distracted to really pay attention except when they checked if the artery had closed and it hadn't yet. I know because I saw my blood hit the ceiling light. Oops.
  23. BlrwestSiR
    Same here, a great build of a challenging kit.
  24. BlrwestSiR
    It's much clearer in the more recent photo. Thanks for sharing Hubert.

    Stay strong Harv! Sounds like when I got my angiogram. They started one in my wrist (SOP) then decided on a second one in my groin after what they found wasn't what they were expecting. At least they have the back up plan ready and are thinking ahead.
