Try a Tamiya 1/48 scale. Or the new 1/32 lancaster.



Only if you have a couple of (kilo)metres wall space that is.

Nice one Daz. It does seem to be a big bugger though and I'm now wondering where my mine is going to go once I've built it :???: I'll cross that bridge when I get to it :grin:
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Work is the curse of the modelling classes!

Some more paint thrown in the Lancaster's general direction...!

There's a few dodgy bits here and there that need to be redone, but it won't take much. The Lanc now has its undercarriage fitted, so more pics will be up soon!

Since these were taken, I've tidied up the paint scheme and started painting the canopy framework....

I also blitzed the Spitfire IIa in the space of an hour last night....

Yeah, there's a bit of a gap in the starboard wing root, but I'll be putting walkway markings on it, which will cover them up!

Lancaster looks good, and quick work with that Spitfire.

Thanks, Nigel.

I should have them both finished by Saturday. Then it's on to the Hurricane!

Great idea to do all three together, it's always pretty special to see the BBMF Lanc, Spitfire & Hurricane when they display. Excellent work so far, looking forward to seeing all three complete.
