What say you? I couldn't really say. It could be tricky to attach later. As the wings can be painted separately, and the gear is easy masked off, I don't think you need t leave them off until last. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time needs to be spent correcting the various errors and omissions along the way. And yes....just one photo Good now you can work on something else and post!

Is that a compass and is it a part from the kit? It didn't come in my Airscale kit. Airscale have reduced what they give you for the Lancaster cockpit now. What’s there looks great but the levers and so on have gone. I have written to them asking why. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would require the fret to be re-designed for the sake of changing that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The text on Hannants and the Airscale site reads “holes and slots are cut for levers and switches (not supplied)”. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they caused more quality issues than they were worth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I think the instructions refer to small toggles and switches rather than the much larger throttle levers. Looking at the photos that Peter posted on LSP of the completed PE fret, the throttle levers are in the middle of the sheet. To me, it wouldn't make sense to change it.

Carl Hi Carl, it hasn’t been changed, the picture and text on the Hannants website where I got my information from are incorrect. I understand that they have been asked to update the details on their site with the correct picture. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
