*** Thanks for the offer Nigel,but they are all built sitting ready for installation,instrument panel,seats,control column,navigators table etc etc even a tiny map folded ! what happened was I got stuck on the very large canopy,a school wanted to do it as a design technology project but let me down,then believe it or not one cropped up on E-bay of all places,it said something like if you have a shed full of balsa then you can build a Lanc,I wrote to the chap and told him that I had the model just wanted a canopy,anyway I got it,it was made for some TV company Lancasters that were used in the 'Avengers' remember it ? Stead etc,a very lucky find,this is such a large model that I have to work on her outside when the weather is good,but it was built in smaller sections in my small shed,everything plugs and bolts together,she will get finished,but thankyou again for your kind consideration.
ps-The undercarriage was made up for me by a model engineer friend,I made one assembly in wood and he had them cast in metal,bushed them up and fitted the wheels which came from the States.
