Here's a look at the decals:

Here it is! The latest HK Models release consists of the separate nose section of the full Lancaster kit. Perfect for if you don't have the room to stall one (let alone 3) complete Lancasters! In addition you get a transport / factory trolley to display it in. You get no less than 4 cool nose jobs to choose from. Review soon here on LSM. Price to be determined.

Almost done with primer. RLM 63 paint from AK arrived so ready to rock and roll!

I’m glad i’m not alone! So often my wife asks: how long will you be? I have supper on the stove. About 15 minutes is my steady reply. By now she knows better...

Had a lot of trouble getting the primer right. Tried several. AK, Mig, Alclad etc... mixed them with several thinners. Then tried 3 different airbrushes. Iwata, Colani and Tamiya. When i found the right combination i got this far. More tomorrow...

Thank you Karim. I have removed the first line of your reply to keep things peaceful and quiet. Stay safe everyone!

Ok guys! Shall we agree to disagree and leave it at that? That would be great.

Thank you Antonio! just ordered the AK rlm 63 since Gunze does not have it. At least not my supplier. much appreciated!

Now to pick the right colour. The instructions call for all over ‘barrack grey’. In other words: mouse grey. no idea what to go by at this moment...

Rivets done!

More rivets...

Happy bday!

Rivets almost done..

I made a mistake. The fairings were included in the set!! So i took it all of and followed the instructions like I should have done in the firsts place.

Added the fairings. Also added a thin Plastic strip as a base for the fairing as can be seen in reference.

Impressive stuff!

Really cool weathering. Lovely

Drew up the masks today:

I use my very old Mission Model bender. By no means perfect

Building another Radu canopy.

Some more dry fitting

Thnx. I drew the strap shadow myself in a way it pops out

Tried something new. I designed artwork in the Star of Africa theme and had it printed by Projectcolor. The signed photo of the 1956 star of the movie is sandwiched between the wooden base and perspex. 4 screws will hold it in place.

Lovely detail work. I have this kit with the Part photo etch set in the stash. Bookmarked this!

Hahaha! thnx. You’re too kind. I tend to only use Gunze mr hobby colour. Thinned with Gunze levelling thinner.
