Kit Basher Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 This kit thoroughly challenged my limited skills, but I guess it came out OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64Comet404 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Looking good! I built one of these for a client years ago, and have thought about getting another one for the stash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showrods Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 My father, as a teenager/young man, flew in Lancasters during WWII. He was one of the few to make it out alive. I had the privilege of getting in one of the remaining still flying Lancasters when it landed in Ottawa a few years ago and after seeing the insides, I don't know how any of the crew survived. Cramped; thin skinned; no insulation; interior noise must have been incredible; attack from enemy aircraft; flak; bad weather; etc - brave boys/men all.

I had the same idea after touring the inside of a B-17. They were truly the Greatest Generation. Thanks, Peter! Thanks, Nick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belugawrx Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Nice work on the Avro Lancaster Hugh. The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum has one of the last, flying Lancasters, and you can hear it coming for miles. They do flyovers almost every weekend in the summer months.

Thanks, Bruce! I have never heard four Merlins, but we occasionally get flyovers with four Wright radials. What a wonderful sound! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
