Hello all

I'd like to share these pictures of my newly completed HKModels
1/32 Lancaster.

Although some parts are not historically correct (due to a change of mind
at a late-in-the-construction stage), I think it looks rather striking and
this is probably due to its large scale.

I was presented with a lot of difficulties with this model in as much
as several parts were not a very good fit and overall the whole model took
a lot longer due to the extra 'make good' work. I know models aren't
perfect but when you pay a lot of money you expect better so in several respects
I was disappointed with the quality of the kit. I won't go any further into
this suffice it to say it turned out ok!

I added lighting in order to view the inside the aircraft through the windows
and various openings. Wasn't keen on the clear fuselage option.

Hi Tony

I prefer to make larger models (for my sins)!

I cope with the scale by using Tamiya extra thin cement and I always, where
possible, use Humbrol acrylic spray paints. These two products
go along way to making the job easy and effect a good finish.

And of course the biggest issue is having the space to accommodate
such large kits.

I'm very fortunate I do have space to make them and a large loft to display them!

I think it's like everything in life once you've gained experience it becomes a lot easier!

Merry Christmas.

Regards. Alan

Thanks Tony
