International Scale Modeller

Hi guys, finished my Lancaster finally. I've been building this thing on and off for ages. Nice to have it done. It's a Revell 1/72 kit and I can recommend it, was an enjoyable build with no real issues. This is my third proper build and kept weathering subtle as I might use this later in some sort of diorama... maybe.
Any feedback, hints, tips etc are welcome!

Avro Lancaster B.Mk.1 of No. 9 Squadron, RAF in Bardney, 1945.

Great looking Lanc, Jack!

She's a real beauty! That's one to be proud of!

Stunning work there mate! The weathering is just perfect!

Thanks guys

Lovely job mate

That's the best looking Lanc I've seen in a long time.

Got to agree with the other posts. Beautiful job, looks stunning.

Hi

Your finished build looks excellent.
Remember building Lancaster bomber when I was a kid and was intending to try again, can you tell me what the finished dimensions are ? Imperial or metric either is ok as I am of a age where you needed to work with both

Thanks

Hi Johng thanks for the comments. No problem - wingspan is 430mm and nose to tail is 290mm. Hope this helps You scratch building one??!

Thanks for info Jack

Hi jack

Didn't pick up on your Scratch Build joke earlier, nice one that would have been some achievement for a 12 year old.

I have actually worked on military aircraft, largest size wise would be the Nimrod before government pulled the plug on it.

Anyway I am going to buy Lancaster kit and have a ago
Cheers

Thats a fantastic looking lancaster

Great paint job , a tip l have used brown in the black to give it a worn effect

Hi Paul, thanks for the tip man will try that out next opportunity.

Excellent work and agree with all the above comments, really great build

Very inspiring build. Excellent paint job and just the right weathering.
