    Nice one chap. The dihedral was one I was skeptical about but its not hard to fix and does look better. There are some very good videos on you tube taken from the Lancaster APs as it goes. Apparently the rad intakes are usually oversized, something to do with the reference aircraft most companies use being an exe far east cab with tropical rads. I guess you are aware that exhaust staining on the outboard exhaust goes under and not over the wing. Another I just avoided😁

    Worth a look for screen grabbing...

    Thank you John, Chris, dihedral needed fixing, I can't see the difference in the radiators, exhaust stains vary, and Spiros, ---- a bit of painting and assembly done.
