Ok I'm going to blame Kurt for me getting in on this, he was texting and badgering me about running silent and deep so far, so here goes.
With a little luck I should have some progress photos after this weekend.

Thanks Kurt!
Is this the newer version with the prepainted canopies?
No Pete, it's one of the original boxings.
I saw one of these boxing on consignment at Royal’s not too long ago. Almost picked it up. The Lancaster is one of those so ugly it’s cool planes. Exceedingly British!
What a beast! cool
Ok,
I have Friday afternoons off, so to work on this beast!
Cockpit assembled and ready for the paint booth. What's that small 30-60-90 triangle doing in the picture you ask?
Glad you asked. With the chamfered corner to let the glue pass through or to get around fuselages, it really helps get assemblies square.
The vertical stabilizer is 90 degrees to the horizontal stabilizer.
Nice Choice. I will like watching this one.
I have this boxing and the Grand Slam one with prop action and painted canopies. Im going to have to pull out the stops now.
Which one are you going with , Court? Dam Buster or Grand slam?
Paul, I'm building the Lancaster Mk 1 Special, the Grand Slam bomber, since the original kit is easier to convert it to Mk 1 than a Mk 3. I'll have to get some aftermarket parts for the other one in the stash so I can build the Dambuster.
Very nice choice (despite the scale...)!
@greg.kittinger It's pretty amazing he has room on the bench for it isn't it? 😜
@caseyg83 it almost doesn't fit on the bench.
@greg.kittinger I do have one of those small Matchbox ones in the stash
Man - either that is a monster kit, or your bench is really cluttered, or .... wait, that seems so familiar.... 😉
A place for everything and not a thing in it's place.
Big Bird on the bench. What black primer are you using?
That the bare plastic Kurt. No paint yet.
