Chuck's Avro Manchester Mk.Ia in 1/72 scale. *Finished*
Re: Chuck's Avro Manchester Mk.Ia in 1/72 scale.
Very nice work, good looking Manchester. Although I think you've ducked out of work by doing an aircraft with two engines, honestly!!
Hoping to return to modelling sometime this year!!

On second thoughts, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place!

Thanks. I know somebody once said one could never have too many Lancasters or even B-17s for that matter. While I don't mind building more than one aircraft type, I have always preferred to have each a different variant. In my case, the Vulture engined Manchester nicely compliments my Lancaster MR3, B.MkII, and Matchbox Tallboy version. Now, on to converting a new mold Revell of Germany B-17F into an early B-17e with the remote belly turret.

Thanks. I am tempted at diving into a Lincoln conversion but with Airfix coming out with a new tool Shackleton, I fear that a Airfix Lincoln will soon follow. :P

I did the Lincoln conversion with the Airfix Lanc and the Flightpath set. Not as daunting as you might think so I would say go for it. Although you might well be right about the Lincoln coming out!!.Chuck Finley wrote:lancfan wrote:That is just brilliant.
