Playing in the Sandbox Group Build Sept 1, 2024 - Jn 1, 2025

converting the HK Models prototype Lancaster into a Manchester.


Recommended Posts

Knock knock who's there. A bloody big hole to fill. Why did HK feel the need to create it for locating the outer engines. Did they not foresee a crazy Dutchie with compulsory convertititis.

Looks like am the only one who responds to my own posts. :D

Made more progres but in photographs it looks much the same as previous pics posted here. Will quietlly beaver away

on the wings and structurally finish them. It's only sanding/filling/sanding at the moment. Very boring but necessary.

As soon as substantial progress has been made I will report here again.

Gus,

Should have seen the floor. There is dust everywhere, but I have to do my own dustsucking :huh:

Glad to be at this point after all the hard work. Plugged the large depressions on the underside too.

Notice in the pics that the centre sections chord is longer than the outer wings. No use putting more

material on the outer wings, better cut back the inner sections. Bit cheating but it will not show.

The basic Manchester is almost finished and after that it's the engine nacelles. That is where Jeroen

comes in.

Very pleased I am.

Yod....err Cees

Then again,

While spraying both Spitfire cockpits there was some paint left in the cup, so I thought,well..... why not spraying

the Manchester cockpit too. With that green layer the scratchbuilt interior detail looks very effective.
