converting the HK Models prototype Lancaster into a Manchester.

[Wingco57]

While I had some paint left in the cup after airbrushing some of the Phantom parts I thought I might as well check one of the Manchester wings for flaws.

[Wingco57]

The Vacform Stirling provided two FN7 transparencies that would come in handy for the Manchester. The framing is too prominent but the general shape can be used to make a Milliput mould.

A good starting point  . . .

Some progress, another nacelle structure was created.

Great to see this back, would love to see a Border Lanc built as a MkII. Guess you’d have rob a couple of Beaufighters for the engines, we’re they the right mark engine though…..

Spent a glorious week in beautiful Lincolnshire, also known as bomber county. After so much inspiration my vingers itched to get some modelling done. I decided it is time to finish the Manchester, a project I have been working on since the end of 2015.

Recently I got these beautifully rendered nacelles. So the first option made from plasticard was obsolete.

The wall thickness is very thin and need some strenghtening. Plastic insulation pipe will be used to represent the radiator cores.

Where is the nacelles come from - they look very nicely done.

[GazzaS]

Those nacelles look great!

[Wingco57]

Some reshaping of the corners. 

They are a bit flat, but after some gentle scraping much better.

 

[Wingco57]

Testfit.

Wow… i know how difficult that shape is to get right! I think you nailed it!
