I'm looking forward to the final result, and I'll definitely be building one of these, along with the WnW kit when it arrives. This, along with the long awaited B-24, is forcing me to consider adding at least one new wing onto my house. "a new WING to my house"...................................... 5
Bomber_County Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 Ade so sorry about the boiler.........as far as the detractors, find something else to moan about........I’m excited that we have two big Lancs to build, we have never been so blessed......... 4
airscale Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 oooh not seen one of these in the flesh - looks fab James I toyed with doing a PE cockpit & instrument decal set for this, but now the WNW one is on the cards I will leave it to the big boys to play in that space really looking forward to seeing this come together Peter 5

I hear you on that one Ernie. Maybe we should do what this couple did: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/we-re-always-taking-chances-b-c-couple-buys-massive-unfinished-saskatchewan-mansion-1.4864117 Supposedly the garage is 2700 sq ft alone.

I for one am happy with what HKM has done. Good to see you here, man. It’s decidedly laid back and friendly around here. Nobody, and I mean nobody tries to cause issues, matter of fact, the only issues we had were when an Admin and a Mod from there came here to sling brown poopy stuff around until they were shown the door. I was exactly 6 years too late coming to LSM, man. I plan on building one of these as soon as it’s available. Straight OOB as much as possible too to achieve a white/nmf/red lightning stripe postwar RCAF. 3
Drifter Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Excellent thread so far James. Will follow it closely. Hopefully HKM will launch a version without the clear fuselage parts and knock a few $ off the price. With our exchange rate, it is a big ask at the going rate. Keep it up, 3
Peterpools Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Max and Cat great to see you both here on LSM . Fun, Friendly and the Gang’s All Here Peter 2

Peterpools Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Gerhard It was time to move on and I tried to say goodbye to all my friends but my simple posts were removed almost as fast as I posted. LSM is my new home, all my friends are here or joining daily and I couldn't be happier. Glad you’re with the ‘Gang’. Just like the old days Peter 4

Fun, Friendly and the Gang’s All Here Peter Thanks Peter, I actually joined LSM 4 years ago but haven't visited that often; James' Lancaster build is holding my attention right now and I guess will do for some time, but I have no axe to grind with LSP and it remains my modelling home. 5

mozart Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 The RAF used the Mk XIV bombsight not the "precision" Norden sight used by the Yanks. Max 3
Grunhertz Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 Most squadrons used the Mk. xiv and 617 after the Damns raid used the stabilising automatic bomb sight (SABS) to the best of my limited knowledge the Americans wanted to hang on to the Norden sight 2
Wingco57 Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 There was also the T-1 sight which was the MK XIV but produced in the USA. Cees 4
