Photos Avro Lancaster with homemade Tallboy 1/72

Greetings,



Hope everyone is in good spirit and doing well.

I had this Avro Lancaster 1/72 Revell kits but without the decals, I brought it from yard sales so no decals, however, I got a Matchbox decal but sadly it just cracked away. I was on the verge of giving up the model and started something new. But then decided I need to complete what I have started, a friend of mine send me a pair of wing roundels it was a tad small but I can live with it and I used decals from other kits. Working on the matchbox decals which I have no option to work on it was a really challenging bit like building a puzzle. I am no Lancaster expert, however, I really like the aircraft and I hope if any error you guys will forgive me. For bomb, I wanted to have the Tallboy, so asked a friend and he printed a one for me. It was a bit rough but quite happy for the first-ever trial, so the future looks bright for the next project. Building the kit was great, a bit of extra engineering I would say but I can live with hehe. Painted using local paint. So without further ado, may present my Lancaster, bit of Frankenstein on the decal.



Thank you for looking cheers.

Great stuff Tom. Can I get a close up of the refueling truck? I can see some weathering/dust effects on there I'd like to see.

That’s a really good job with the Revell kit.

Excellent pain job! I'm rapidly losing patience trying to mask glazing on the G4M kit. I'm afraid I've bitten off more than I can chew.

It is a very nicely built model, I once traded a Lancaster model with a Tallboy bomb with a Russian modeler. It was an ex Frog in 1/72 scale kit.
