the resin Bomb parts and the WEM PE flaps should make this an unusual build.
The kit box is the gift box tip and spill type, my least favourite box, so I’ve cut the box up and placed the parts into the box from my last build, a 1/35th scale Panzer, so it’s deep but short.
Those were Tallboy not Grandslam
I’ve rationed down the sprue frames to make them easier to manage.
you’re quite right Littorio, Tallboy 1944 Turpitz and Grandslam 1945 against the Viaduct.
Interesting. I’ve seen this conversion but wasn’t sure what the quality of it was like.
Will be watching the build.
What decals are you using?
It’s funny how this subject popped up today on here for me, as i had to take my wife and dog to a dog show at a remote village called Tarbrex which is somewhere between West Calder and Lanark off of the A70.
It’s the sort of village that has ambitions of being a one horse town, there are no shops, pubs or even a bus stop, just a small village hall that has a park bench outside of it, that has a plaque on it.
so how is this related to this build? read the plaque on the bench to find out.
Hello Mate, not sure about markings yet, I’ll be on the lookout of an aftermarket set, before I need them.
Blimey, survived flying to Hell and back only to die of a heart attack in peacetime.
trial fit of the fuselage floor to port side half.
I didn’t think the 3d printed part would be as “click” a fit as the Airfix floor, but it looks workable.
Very impressive read .
i know couldn’t do it justice, hence the reason i decided to upload a picture of it.
pilot and navigators positions in. I expect the co pilot will be in next. I wonder where the Navigators take off landing and emergency position was, can’t have been sat in that fragile swing out seat.
In the movie Dambusters, with Richard todd playing Sqn leader Gibson, his flight engineer was played by Jaws actor Robert Shaw, he would have sat on this little fold away stool.
while that is placed to one side to harden off for 12 hours, time to look at the wing.
In the stash I have the Revell Dambuster 1/72 kit, I have heard on the internet that it suffers from a lack of Dihedral, the angle is too shallow, this comparison image shows the grey Airfix kit wing and below it, the black plastic Revell wing. With this evidence I shall be donating the Revell kit to my local charity shop. No way I’m ever spending the time to build that.
The kit moulded wing box needs to go.
the leading spar held down with light preesure while the glue dries, the control bar of stretched sprue, threaded through the stringers holes.
Looks really nice with that PE detail… Very intricate
