That's looking really nice and coming on well. Good work!
The frame will glue to location holes on the fuselage. The transparency will cover it and be cemented to the fuselage as well, so no smudging.COR Barry the lanc is lookin great an gonna be a biggee an it looks a strong build but how do you intend to glue the canopy framein to the glass wont it smudge on the glass ?

OH right oh Barry should look great keep it cominThe frame will glue to location holes on the fuselage. The transparency will cover it and be cemented to the fuselage as well, so no smudging.
It’s what called ‘oil canning’. I believe the first kit to depict it was the 1/24 Airfix Typhoon. The new 1/32 A20 Havoc from HKM also has it. It really sets this kit apart from the HK 1/32 Lanc.One thing I really do like about this model is the 'crinkly' effect of the riveting
chaff dispenser?That structure just forward of the Elsan, is that meant to be the flare chute because it looks a bit huge? Most of the photos I've seen only show a singler compartment with a big curved lid
It’s the late style flare chute. The smaller round earlier one is an option.That structure just forward of the Elsan, is that meant to be the flare chute because it looks a bit huge? Most of the photos I've seen only show a singler compartment with a big curved lid
Right. All my pics and references are of the early one, for my 'first in service' still incomplete partwork build. Nice to know this kit has options for other marks. Does it also have both late and early nose blisters? I couldn't see the transparencies in the parts picsIt’s the late style flare chute. The smaller round earlier one is an option.
There are two different nose blisters Steve.Right. All my pics and references are of the early one, for my 'first in service' still incomplete partwork build.

"Can't see the transparencies? Well, that's because they're TRANSPARENT!"
Serious Question. Did they have 'Chaff' then? (Horrid stuff!!) Mr Google time!!!!!chaff dispenser?
Yes, but back then it was called 'window,' by us, and 'duppel' by the Germans. Or, whatever is the German word for 'where did all this tinfoil come from?"Serious Question. Did they have 'Chaff' then? (Horrid stuff!!) Mr Google time!!!!!
Mr Google wins. 1942 it was invented. That surprised me!
