BlrwestSiR Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Anyone know if there are AM bulged bomb bay doors available for the HK Lancaster? I'm looking to do the wartime VR-A Lancaster and it had the bulged doors. Failing that, if anyone know of some plans available I may give a try at making some. Thanks, Carl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FME erk Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Carl have you thought about laminating the doors with 20 thou and finishing with some filler of sorts to shape ??? Ian 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 Ian, I'd certainly give it a try but can't find any plans to know what the shape would be especially at the aft end of the doors. Thankfully, since I'm converting one kit with the Iconicair Dambusters conversion, I'll have a spare set of doors in case I screw it up.

seiran01 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I did the stepped bulged door in cad for the 8,000lb cookie on the Lanc Mk.ii but I don’t have a printer big enough to test print it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike, could it be printed in sections? Maybe two halves per door and then we just glue them together. I'd be interested if that sounded feasible.

seiran01 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 [expletive] I spoke too soon. I just opened up the file to take a look at it. It is in what was a shared folder that my friend and I were using before Fusion changed their subscription model. Since he's the folder owner I cannot save the design back into my files to continue working on it. I could make adjustments to the design but none of them would save so i won't have a way to tweak the thing to make sure everything fits the model. I'm sorry Carl If I get some free time I wouldn't mind making the design again but right now I'm overextended with commitments for two aftermarket companies in addition to trying to speed through a build to help show off some new products being announced before long 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 No worries Mike. I appreciate your looking into it. Curious as what the new projects are. Hopefully something in 1/32. Carl 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harv Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Just out of curiosity, would the bulged Mosquito doors work, or part of them ?.....harv 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seiran01 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 No, mossie is much narrower and the Lanc bomb bay is probably three times the length of the mossie bay 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FME erk Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Carl Are these the style of bomb doors you are looking at ?? Ian 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 Ian, Yes I believe that's the version I need. Carl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FME erk Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 The plan is shown in the rear of the book 'Modellers guide to the Lancaster' and is drawn in 144 scale but has the details to enlarge the plan by %n for larger scales . . . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
