NigelR32 Posted January 19, 2019 Author Posted January 19, 2019 Here you go guys.. I looked at how to fix this, and stuck a video on You Tube so that new guys can follow along. As I say in my video, I'm no expert, but what i've done worked first time!! Â 5
FME erk Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 Something else to add to the list of corrections then . . . 2
MGunns Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Nice Video: Thanks for taking the time to put this together and show what the problem and an easy step by step solution. Very nicely done and duly appreciated.  2

ChaoticMike Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 I tweaked the camera by lathing a shallow cone of sprue, attaching it to the camera body then drilling out a hole for the lens... Â 3
NigelR32 Posted January 20, 2019 Author Posted January 20, 2019 Nice work Mike.. looking at that, one could use the tail end of a spare Mk81 bomb or similar?

ChaoticMike Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Thanks. I got the idea only because somebody, somewhere, had pointed out it's missing and I know what the camera looks like from too many museum trips! As far as repurposing part of a bomb, that would doubtless be a much easier solution than mine. However, I don't run a spares pool and I don't have a stash (gasp!) so I am invariably forced to remake/remodel. I made a couple of handles for the engineer's fuel cocks out of 40 thou plasticard too.. that was an episode in lateral thinking involving scribing a tiny circle, then drilling out 6 holes around the circumference. More details on Britmodeller…!

Ryan Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Nigel while I hope there are few further corrections to be made to the HK kit, your videos present a clear way to fix them. Thanks for the effort. Ryan 3
yknu Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Hi, I finaly have some time to work with this beast. This is a great forum and already there are great tips. As I am very early on, I checked some fits. How well the wing tip fits to the wing? Have you had any issues with the shape? 3
FME erk Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Would this be classed as a hint ? I haven't received my Lancaster yet but while I am waiting I thought I would start on some ground equipment to pose with it  . . . The 72nd Airfix type is just there for comparison in size 8
NigelR32 Posted January 23, 2019 Author Posted January 23, 2019 Nice!! Where did you get the wheels from? 1

FME erk Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 That vid from Nige is really informative. Graham has gone to a lot of trouble to get the detail right and worthy of the price when you consider the size of the Damm thing  . . . . . (see what I did there  -- Sorry) 3
FME erk Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Question: What would be the best form of solution to eliminated panel lines altogether ?? I ask because on the HK Lancaster there are a second set of landing light and also a dinghy stowage in the port wing. I have heard mention of Tippex, correction fluid, I have seen Mr Surfacer used but only to lessen the depth of panel lines. I want rid then to be able to scribe panel lines  . . . Thanks in anticipation David 1

Thanks in anticipation David Hi David, In my opinion there are many ways to do this, but by far the best, especialluy if you want to scribe over the panel lines is to either use sprue goo or Mr Surfacer. One thing to keep in mind with both is to leave them for at least a couple of weeks to fully cure before sanding back as you will experience shrinkage that will make the panel lines visible if you remove excess too soon. Super glue is a great filler but is very hard compared to the surrounding plastic so make scribing a little more difficult to look consistent. As I said, this is my opinion and others will have a different view. 2
