He has a bit of paper which shows which bit goes where but I am sure the Kit would help – Good idea – start selling cans then .

PS have you packed your bag yet – is October OK

Email ne when you are free – this is again not a drill

I’m finding it difficult to follow this bizarre thread, but dpn’t waste a cent on a Sanger kit. I haven’t seen the Lincoln but generally as a manufactirer, they’re rubbish and overpriced.

Instead, look at this coversion for the Tamiya Lancaster

I really do hope it’s still going ahead.

Must leave for a while now, I have a really good winter virus, and between it and the M.S. it’s knocking the SH*T out of me!!!!.

must lay down, before I fall down

Byes for now

Stormbird??

I havent heard that rumour???

Mark Pilkington

(actually I think there might be some truth to that situation, but I think its still a (poorly kept) secret, as the people involved are still finalising arrangements?)

While on subject of a Avro Lincoln

Doe’s anyone know if the one coming to Melbourne Oz from pommy land, has even left yet!!!

Is it a huge job?, what’s the score guy’s!!!

John P,

I thought that was plane-fully oblivious!!

Ahoy there, Papa-Lima, someone’s come round and done horrid things to yer Lancaster… shoved an entire Type XXIII submarine up the snout, they did, and a bay window to boot! I’m sure it’s nice enough for a breakfast nook, though…

The Avro Lincoln. A fine study of a graceful aircraft (the Lancaster) beaten senseless with the ugly stick

We need the sub- assembly drawing to “assemble the sub” onto the front of the large scale Lincoln model we are going to get in the kit!!!!!!!!! 😀

Mark P

Why would we need a sub assemblies diagram ?

To assemble what ?

Vilderbeast/Paul,

thanks for that link I think I will have to get one of those 1/48 scale kits!

Webpilot

sub-assemblies diagram?? I guess it could be 😉

regards

Mark P

Looks like a Lincoln kit to me, Mark. I’ve had a word with Setter and I’m happy to do some colouring in on the diagram.

Rob

Kit? Or major sub-assemblies diagram?

Mark

Have a look at http://www.sangereng.fsnet.co.uk/page35.html for a 1/48th Lincoln

Paul

Setter,

My kids hang their smaller models from the ceiling but “mum” knocks them about when dusting, and the ones on the TV can get stood-on if left on the floor so you have to be careful with that too!!

A big cardboard box to keep them all safe from dust, the vacuum cleaner and big feet is the best solution to use!!, or alternatively a glass fronted book shelf.

I have a friend who has a model of the Southern Cross and also a Vickers Vimy inside class fronted bookshelves but there is a risk of silver fish and condensation effecting the models.

Another friend has a Lancaster and spitfire in a similar case, but its poorly lit and its hard to see the models very well at all! (He had a B25 model but got rid of it because it wouldnt fit in the display case )- I think someone stood on it later?? and he also has a 262 model but the decals are peeling off it and the paint work is very rough, but he likes it because its as it came “out of the box” and a very rare kit because of that.

but if you cant get a good glass fronted book shelf, at least a cardboard box keeps them safe for the moment!

Hi Robbo

You and the Queen both interested in Corgis hey – are yours Pembrokes or Welshs. I hear the Queen has trouble with hers fighting and crapping on the carpet – Your models make much more sense and you don’t have to feed them either- strange though I thought you would have had a bit of an aviation theme to your house?

Regards
John P

Please send me you phone number again

Hi Mark

Yes that’s half the fun with the big format kits – finding all the parts and doing all the sanding – you wind up with a real stunner from what looked like a pile of old rubbish !

I think you have some very nice kits Mark and you will have lots of fun putting them all together with the other kiddies. Don’t forget though that you need a very big cupboard to put all the finished models in especially in Australia as they fade in the sun when it comes through the window and you certainly can’t leave them out in the rain just because they don’t fit in the house and your mum says she won’t have them in the lounge room.

Regards
John P

Setter

you are absolutely right!!

Sometimes you can find left over bits from broken models or kits you have never built and use those to enhance a basic kit from Mongram, Airfix or where-ever??

The Vaccum Form kits need lots and lots of sanding to get the wings to join to the fuselage, but in the end they look just as proffessional if you take the time to do so as the injection moulding models.

White Metal engines and undercarriage make these kits look very real.

I once saw pictures of a large Scale Halifax model built up from the left over parts of another model kit, including wing and fuselage, but fitted with a scratch built cockpit to provide extra detail and scratch built undercarriage as the original one had been lost from the original kit, it looked quite impressive, you couldnt see any glue lines or joins between the various parts. They must have had a good 3-D drawing on that kit box as well.

I know two other large scale Halifax models were being built, one was from a very early kit and the parts were finished very poorly in the injection moulding, leaving little bits rough finish and gaps in the joins, the other one was being sanded back fully before each part was glued together and last time I saw pictures you couldnt tell the difference between it and a full size real aeroplane that could fly??

Gee – modelling is great fun!!! 😀

regards

Mark P

I suppose that depends on the fit of all the bits. People should always examine their bits before they use them to make sure they all fit in the right places properly. Also on large kits sometimes they get corroded or damaged bits which need a lot of sanding and stuff (technishael turm). Sometimes also other kids nick stuff from some of the kits and you have to make sure it’s all there or build new bits or steal stuff from other peoples beau… sorry kits
