Peterpools Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 Ian Glad to see You making steady progress, as the pace is not important. Terrific work on the details and bomb load. Keep ‘em comin Peter 2 1
FME erk Posted March 24, 2021 Author Posted March 24, 2021 These arrived yesterday from Jersey USA. Beautifully crafted resin seat for the Lancaster showing quite exquisite fine detail . . . Some CAREFUL trimming from the base will be needed . . . . back as soon as I can Ian 9

I had to enhance them with Eduard and Scratchbulding. 5
BlrwestSiR Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 Definitely take your time trimming the seat Ian. Thankfully the attachment points are small but some overlap and attach to various spots. I cut them down as I went so I could see them better. Carl 4 1
Peterpools Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Lancaster details look tremendous and absolutely agree they need to be handled with TLC Keep ‘em comin Peter 3
FME erk Posted March 27, 2021 Author Posted March 27, 2021 Apparently the seat is to small for 32nd scale There is a build of an actual Lancaster Nose only section being built in England and the author of the article has provided measurements of an actual Lancaster seat to confirm the size. It seems that the original HK kit seat, despite lacking the fine detail, is in fact, nearer to the actual size . . . . 1 2 2
FME erk Posted April 1, 2021 Author Posted April 1, 2021 The 32nd resin seat with the Tamiya 48th figure It maybe that the seat will be more suitable for the HK 48th scale Lancaster ??? 3 2

Peterpools Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 Seat does look a bit too small. Keep 'em comin Peter 2
GusMac Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 If these are 3D printed, might it be worth contacting the manufacturer as they may be able to rescale the files? 4
FME erk Posted April 4, 2021 Author Posted April 4, 2021 I believe a prominent modeller already has but at my build stage, I shall used my modified kit seat . . . 5
Wingco57 Posted April 4, 2021 Posted April 4, 2021 Seems like the seat is at it’s highest position too, not really realistic in real life ( or a very short pilot). 3

FME erk Posted May 27, 2021 Author Posted May 27, 2021 Hi Phil I've been a bit distracted of late. I still have the Lancaster on the work bench but I am currently researching a book concerning WWII airfields. I know that I WANT to start again and have it finished before Xmas . . . rgds Ian 3
Peterpools Posted May 28, 2021 Posted May 28, 2021 Ian I too wonder who actually checks these things - apparently no one. Keep 'em comin Peter 1

Work situation is looking even more dire. We had 10 directors in the autumn of 2019, we now have 4……… 1 1
FME erk Posted May 30, 2021 Author Posted May 30, 2021 Phil I just received a couple of the 48th kits of the HK Lancaster, If I get the chance I can post the sprue shots but before that happens somebody else will have posted a review. Here is a build of the kit which I must say look rather nice but I dont know of any issues, the builder said there were none . . . 5
FME erk Posted May 30, 2021 Author Posted May 30, 2021 Phil A review locate here . . . https://www.themodellingnews.com/2021/04/build-review-pt-i-48th-scale-avro.html#more 3 1
Bomber_County Posted May 30, 2021 Posted May 30, 2021 Thanks Ian, you bought two of the 48th, love to see those built up…..I think it’s going to be awhile before I hit “add to cart”….. 3 1
Peterpools Posted May 30, 2021 Posted May 30, 2021 Ian Looking forward to the Lanc build threads. Keep 'em comin Peter 2

I have broken/fixing the first one already three times ( two times hand rest and drop it once and brake the legs). I will put here later some updates of my progress. 1 2

Now that you mentioned, it actually look a bit small. I have 1/32 pilots in Tamiya P-61D and Spitfire VIII. Need to make a test... 2
Peterpools Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 Hope the pilots work out OK Keep 'em comin Peter 1
FME erk Posted June 19, 2021 Author Posted June 19, 2021 I think I may be gettin the urge or some form of mojo back cos I've been thinking about getting back onto the build as research for my other project is slowly coming to a halt as I await further details from another source . . . I shall have to carry out an overview of the status . . . . 2 2
