Completed Avro Lancaster model.

[Ian Raleigh]

Made this for a chap in London who helps run 'moonpig.com' :shock:

Tamiya 1/48th Avro Lancaster.

A lot of work went into this monster which took four months to build.

Enjoy the photo's everyone

Wow ! Is it a pathfinder with the H2S and the cookie?

Looks amazing! You've done a hell of a job .

great work - well done !

when I was kid in the 80s I also build the Lancaster from Tamiya in 48 and as with all of my scale planes I hung it up on the ceiling of my room - man was it huge compared with some other 48 models

Re:

Very nice indeed. I was locking up a place where I used to work one evening when the BBMF came over, 6 Merlins rumbling overhead was a good end to that days work

Another terrific build but (again) could you put up a pic to give me some idea of scale. The actual pics are great, new camera?

Thanks for the replies guys.

Shaun its not a pathfinder! The yellow fins was on all 218 'gold coast' squadron Lancaster's.

Richard the model is gone now but the wing span is about two feet, yes new camera but had it since last September.

That is a big baby!!! The pics are superb. What are the three coloured dots for on the top?

[Ian Raleigh]

The three 'coloured dots' are under the fuselage and are Identification lamps.

This gives the scale of the same kit but done as VRA which came over last year and Randy Straughan is signing my model of VeRA.
