My current project at the work bench is Airfix's 1/72 scale Lancaster B.III Special. It's been slow getting started but I was able to get some painting done on the interior. The new tooling Lanc from Airfix is a nice kit and I'm looking forward to seeing one of these big bombers on my shelf.

Looking good Matt. Nice to hear from you.

Lazerus rises from the dead! Where the hell have you been? I am quite sure the newly tooled Airfix Lancaster is just as good a kit and at probably half the price of the Hasegawa/Revell of Germany offerings. Keep us posted.

An update to the Lancaster:
I have the flight deck pretty much where I want it, I used the kit decal for the IP and dressed up the pilot's seat with some Edward colored PE RAF belts. next I'll move on to the radio operator's area and finish up any detail painting needed inside the crew areas. The other day all the side windows were glued in place on the fuselage. I'm thinking about masking them now to keep them from getting scratched during construction.

Very nice detail work there Matt. Like the IP & harnesses. I look forward to seeing this progress.

In my entire modeling career, I have only seen one Lancaster built up. It was the Tamiya 1/48 and man, was it big! Hasegawa kits are top notch, no doubt, but they are not the only game in town. Yes, the Revell Lanc is a very nice kit, but the Airfix looks just as good. Keep us posted Matt.

Matt,
Look forward to seeing the finished product. From what I see so far it is going to be a stunner. The Lanc is another one of those "It's so ugly it's beautiful" British airplanes that I absolutely love. Glad to see you are back in the fold and are showing us your talents.

Looks great Matt. Airfix's newest kits sure look the part eh? Can't comment on the query about whether the dams aircraft were Canadian built tho'. I'll have a look through my info and see if it can be confirmed or not?!
