Here we are folks. My pics for the start of this GB.
I bought this second hand and you can see whoever owned it tried to spray it. I'm guessing the poor result of that was due to mould release oil on the sprues. I can't think of anything else that would cause the sort of spray pattern you can see inside the nacelles.
As my version will be mainly white I decided to clean the paint from the parts. I did the loose bits first using my trusty brake fluid, but while I was cleaning them up afterwards, the b****y sink monster struck! During the washing process, even though the plug was left in the sink for the whole time, one of the parts disappeared! Oh poo!
So now I've got to try and cobble together a replacement control column. Fortunately I have the column from the Tamiya Lanc that I can use as a pattern so it shouldn't be too difficult.

Tough loosing the column Dave, but good to see you are joining in on this G.B. It will be a refreshing change to see a Lanc. in something other than cammo.
Nice too to see you are still modelling on your comfy sofa!!lol
Cheers,

If it wasn't for Thomas Edison, we would all be watching T.V. in the dark!
Don't you just hate it when you lose your column Dave? Sorry mate. Good looking kit thought, can't wait for the build.
Have fun, John

Nice kit Dave, looking forward to see this progress. Bad news about the lost part but im sure you will make a replacement that will be just as good.
Cheers

Woof, woof.
Sorry if you've already seen it, just thought you may find it useful

I hope you have fun building this kit ! Building up the under-carriage is a joke and very fiddly
The kit I built I changed just about everything on it and wonder were Revell went wrong....:-[
Hi Andy,
That was the one I saw which gave me the inspiration for the build. There's another one in similar colours by a guy called Ted Taylor which will also help.

Thanks Ian. I have looked at the u/c and you're right - it's going to be very fiddly!
I don't know enough about Lancs to know whether Revell got all the details right or not. Strangely, both Brett Green and Ted Taylor seem to think the kit is a reasonable representation and don't mention any errors apart from the dihedral. All I can say is that it looks like one to my untrained eye. Besides which, I haven't got the skills to do any serious changes to the kit so I'm going to have to live with any inaccuracies!
I've added the extra windows as shown in Brett's build as that was fairly straightforward, and I've cobbled together a replacement column which I think is close enough, but I won't be trying to fix the dihedral despite his excellent guide.
I'm doing the interior colours today so hopefully there'll be some pics later.
