Title: Lancaster Mk. III "Grog's The Shot" - 100 Sqn. - Revell [1:72]
Post by: Rod The Fixer on November 11, 2020, 06:01:05 AM

Hello all,
I've restarted to build this "dated" Revell Kit:

a short recap about the work done until now ...

Interiors before assembling and seat belts applications ...

Steps of the wing dihedral modification :

I cut 4 plasticard pieces with a 7° angle to reinforce and make the wing more stable

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49905231812_05fe7ba5ed_b.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/2j2XmKf)

I inserted a few pins to avoid plasticard flexions

I glued the outer wing

I cut pins to put correctly the inner wing

I glued inner wing:

in the end this is the result before putty and sanding:

Very nice!  Your additional features to sort out the wings will make this old kit look so much better.

Very nice! Excellent work on the interior but the step-by-step on your dihedral correction is very cool to see  :smiley:
