HubertB Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Oh, and by the way, VERY nice work, Ernie. It’s going to be a real show stopper ! Hubert - 1001 (Do I see some silvering under the « 104 » decal on the fuselage side ? ) 3
Guest DannyVM Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Very nice work Ernie. Maybe i said it before, but i like that color scheme.
BlrwestSiR Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 So Purdy. Makes you want to take her home and introduce her to your parents. Carl 3

Members Mikester Posted August 5, 2019 Members Posted August 5, 2019 Really some top-notch work, Ernie! 1 1
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted August 24, 2019 Author Administrators Posted August 24, 2019 Back at it doing the details and finishing her up. 9
BlrwestSiR Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 Really nice Ernie! Is it just resting on the bomb bay doors? 3

Bomber_County Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 You’re going to have to photograph the hell out of this baby when you’re done......gorgeous 5

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 3 1
FME erk Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 Not wanting to detract from the original thread but this is HK Lancaster related . . . . Could I use this (these) in my build I wonder ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RC-1-18-Car-RS370-High-Speed-Brushed-Electric-Engine-Motor/253489502769?hash=item3b0526da31:g:PqEAAOSw-H1a88R2 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 .. . . ??? 4
sluggo Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 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. 4
Dennis7423 Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 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. - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA 3 1
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted August 26, 2019 Author Administrators Posted August 26, 2019 Dennis, that’s pretty darn close to what we have in the pic, isn’t it. 5
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted August 26, 2019 Author Administrators Posted August 26, 2019 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. 6
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted August 26, 2019 Author Administrators Posted August 26, 2019 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. 7
Wingco57 Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 That is looking mighty fine Ernie. Well done. Cees 5
Dennis7423 Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 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 S. Thornton, CO USA 4
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted August 26, 2019 Author Administrators Posted August 26, 2019 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. 5
seiran01 Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Ern you can have the dipoles from my Widow if you don’t have a set, I don’t need them on the rf61 conversion 5
