Bought from Ebay and arrived today, Hasegawa 1/72 Lancaster "Rescue Unit" which I plan to do in its Canadian colours.

IIRC, you get the alternate Lincoln fins in that release, which should feed across into your Lancaster B.XXX.  In addition, there are two or three other bits you may want to use, such as the Village Inn AGL parts - can't remember the numbers but they're greyed out on the sprue plans.  IIRC, H10 and the tiny clear dome are the two bits you need.

mate, i could get you one of those from work, we have them in stock and with my discount and taking postage into account it would have been cheaper......can you take it back for a refund?.........we could still get one if you want !!

Everything looks better with the addition of British Roundels!

I was more interested in the rear turret that is spare when doing the Canadian version, that and possibly the AGLT will be used on the "normal" Hasegawa BI/III I have

I'd though about you mate!  The shop had it discounted, otherwise I'd definately have tapped you up.  There is one Trumpeter kit I'm definately after though that you could help me out with, PM on it's way.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

I'm tempted, but I think I can resist the arm twisting on that one!  I've got a Ka-226 in the stash, I've picke it up a few times & put it down because of the amount of flash & slightly dodgy moulding.  If I'm doing that with a helicopter the size of the Hoodlum, I don't think I'd ever get around to the Harke!!! :blink:

I've got to admit though, I do like the look of the Mi-26 Flying Crane version & if I can find better drawings than the small concept art that's on Aviastar, I might have a crack at it.....

Got my birthday present from the wife today.  The new Amodel White Knight & Space Ship One (1/72).  This will be real world.  Not planning to WHIFF it.

The F-104 has NO instructions, whilst the Su-15 has NO decals - anyone able to help on either front?

Greg

Greg - I can photocopy instructions from the two-seater that I have in the stash and post them on to you if you still need them.

The main undercarriage looks fun but the rest looks fairly simple.   :thumbsup:

If it's the same resin you used on the Vulcan intakes I have he'll smell them coming days before they get there  :blink: ;D

I'm not sure without looking at better pics Steve.  Tail seems longer, it's definately fatter at the base.  Not sure if there's something going on with the cockpit, there may be a step there & it's not obvoious how the crane operators cabin is arranged.  Undercarriage should be 'fun'!

Great...... I should have a nice fresh Vulcan ready for the slaughter by then to go with the set of Skybolts I have from Freight Dog and the nice set of AirDecal Vulcan decals to boot. ...... Now where is the nearest Church roof as the Vulcan will need some nose weight !!!
