Avro Lancaster Flaps

Pogo · 31-03-2006

Can anyone tell me if the rear part of the inboard engine fairings hinge? I have an Airfix lancaster and i decided to put the flaps down .I couldnt figure by looking at all the reference material i have, if the rear fairings are hinged along with the flaps.
I really think this should be in the help section but its a general query for everyone .
Thanks

Not sure Nigel,I remember this well as when I made the nacelles for my big un,they caused me some headaches in getting them to close into the nacelles,gives me goose pimples every time I see a Lanc picture.
