Oh, and by the way, VERY nice work, Ernie. It’s going to be a real show stopper !

Really nice Ernie! 

Is it just resting on the bomb bay doors?

Yes. They’re extremely strong.

You’re going to  have to photograph the hell out of this baby when you’re done......gorgeous 

Thanks Phil, and will do.

What I NEED to do is figure out those cheek arrays. They’re not correct for this ship and so for neith Jeff or I have found decent useable pics of them.  There’s plenty of pics, but the problem I that they throw shadows onto the surface and confuse the person trying to model them.   It’s semi irritating. 

Some RCAF Daks used the same style

Not wanting to detract from the original thread but this is HK Lancaster related . . . .

Could I use this (these) in my build I wonder ?

I'm not sure about the voltage, 220volts DC,  and want to know if I purchase a battery pack to hold a 9V battery or TWO AA batteries, would it turn the motor which in turn would turn the propeller .. . . ???

7.2 volt RC car battery. Unless you run a speed controller between the battery and motor, it will start up wide open throttle and your Lanc will be done.

Personally, I'd look for something else.

Ernie, not sure if this helps, but P-61 black windows appear to have the same cheek radar setup. Here's a photo to show:

 

The radar has two dipoles per unit, long dipole in the rear, with an angled support piece. I've seen them in photo-etch/turned brass before, I'm just trying to find them. Not too terribly hard to reproduce.

Just found some of the little things that need doing. 

A dorsal rotating beacon carved to shape and painted.

And running some some brake lines so the darn thing can stop.

If it wasn’t for the very real fear of wrecking a promising build at the last second, performing the multitude of little details necessary to bring the model to the next level is extremely enjoyable. 

Thanks for looking.

Ernie-

 

Did some more digging, and found these for you from the P-61 restoration at www.maam.org. These should be very helpful!

Dennis, YOU DA MAN!!!!

now I've got to dig out my P-61 and see if those are in there somewhere....

Those are the ones, that's for sure.  I guess it stands to reason that a postwar Canada would Americanize their equipment as much as needed, and honestly, that's the one single avenue I hadn't investigated.

Did you say there might be some AM versions of these out there somewhere?  I'm quite happy to scratch them, but if a small company makes them, I'll support them.
