Kaireckstadt Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I don’t know if it’s ok to post it here but I want to share with you some pics of the diorama-accessories which I have build for my Lancaster-Diorama. Meanwhile, I‘ve finished some brake-blocks, an entrance-ladder and a RAF Tilly van. The Tilly is a „shake & bake“ from Tamiya and the rest is scratched from sheet and stretched sprue. The baseplate is only interim and will be exchanged later in the build. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FME erk Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I certainly appreciate the efforts you have gone to there Kai. All the item certainly add to the scene. Historically the vehicle should be Brown or a green base, RAF Blue came post-war. I like the ladder as well and the only 'true' example I saw was that of a former ground crew member who had acquired one and it was painted aircraft interior green. Can I ask what you used for the exhaust staining ? ? my example was heavily stained and your painting looks spot-on. rgds Ian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t knew about the color of the car. I will leave mine as it is, because new painting would be too much effort. Regarding the ladder I will repaint it in aircraft interior green. I have only 2 original fotos of the ladder. One from NX 711 and one in b&w from ED 932. I assume that the red color of NX 711 is only due to the safety of visitors. To your question: I first painted on a mix of Revell Colors Flat Black 8 and Flat Brown 83 thinned to a ratio of 80% Thinner and 20% Color on the upper and lower sides of the wings and nacelles in several layers. This was followed by a mix of Revell Colors flat white 5, flat black 8 and a drop of light brown 89 thinned 70-30 (Thinner-Color). Finally I made the stains dirty with the sand-color and soot-color out of the Tamiya Weatherine Set A and B. Otherwise they looked too regular for me. I attach some fotos of the process. Hope, that helps you Cheers Kai 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really like your exhaust-stains! With what kind of powder did you create them? How did you apply it? Looks very convincing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FME erk Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Kai Its the Tamiya Lanc in 48th scale. Many alterations were made which included moving the W/op.'s window, enlarging the second escape hatch along the fuselage and removing the wing section joint lines to name but a few. The back drop is from Australia used in the railway modelling world, it comes in a 7ft roll if I remember. AS for the powders, I use these chalk sticks that I scrape into a small container and then apply with a brush across the wing flow . . . I hope you like Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Tamiya Lanc looks fantastic. The staining along the wings is quite realistic. What I didn’t do but read more often was that the stains also occurred on the tailplanes, like on yours! And you also opened the window of the pilot! Well done! I also have Pastel-Chalks which I will also try on one of my next builds. How do you fix them after application? Is it possible with another layer of flat varnish? The background is really nice and a good idea. 7 ft last for a big diorama! The truck is a very nice addition! Didn’t know that this is available in 48 scale! Since I also have a Tamiya-Lanc in my stash is it possible to get a list from you with the faults which have to be corrected? I would highly appreciate that! Thanks in advance for your support! Kai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FME erk Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Kai Have a look in here . . . https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/airfixtributeforum/tamiya-1-48th-lancaster-ed583-wings-for-victory-10-t46830.html The crew bus was scratch built.

I haven't use any after that experience Hope it helps cheers Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Between Kai, Ian and JohnB, you guys are determined that I going to have to build a Lanc soon.......... Never realised that the H2S location was a turret location........something else I’ve learnt........ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way beautiful job on the Lanc! I went through all pages of your post there. And the crew-bus is simply amazing. All scratch-build? Chapeau! So no fixing of the pastels on the model. This means handling with care. Will keep it in mind... Thanks again and looking forward to seeing more of your 32nd Lanc! Kai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FME erk Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 The pastel chalks are the last thing really and I have all my Lancasters and a few other in a display cabinet so they dont get handled . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
