Wow...great job on the build...it turned out really nice...Thanks for sharing

Terrific job. Excellent paint finish and weathering.

Beautiful finish. Love your vids mate

On the real ones, you got it. A lot of model builders over emphasize the rivets and panel lines but in real life and in sunlight, they are smooth and you don't see the panel lines if you are like 30 meters away.

Scale modeling is always "making an impression" of a real airplane. A 100% real scale model would have been boring.

Superb work. Thanks for sharing

Very fine job, you are an excellent scale model builder!

Most beautiful model of this plane. You make me to love 1/72 scale. I have my 1/48 B 17 but I can't compare.

It has to be huge in 1/48. I try to make only bombers and other big planes in 1/72 scale.

Looks beautiful, nice work. Great idea being able to remove the clear parts to install the guns. Thanks, for your great videos!

OTB is O.K. for demo but I tend to sand the control surfaces on aircraft for realism and also reduce the panel line depth ( the so-called panel line is actually overlapping sheets of metal, I am experimenting on how to replicate scale overlapping metal), as well as study WW2 kodachrome photos for detail, finally, to get a clean sharp edge masking clear parts, forget the tape (removing tape tends to tear the paint) and use Bare Metal Foil.

Amazing technique perfectly shawned, explained and filmed.... may be the best there .....

Ta nitka ma jedną ogromną zaletę - jest bardzo elastyczna i można ją naciągać. Ja w moim Sunderlandzie (oczywiście już po nakręceniu filmu) próbowałem doginać ją aż do kadłuba (a tam statecznik jest wysoki...) Nie było problemu, nie zerwała się, mimo, że już była naciągnięta. Minusem jest to, że trudno nią operować, bo jest mało sztywna i trudna do chwycenia w pęsetę. Ale ogółem ciekawy wynalazek. ;)

I have a Tamiya 1/48 scale dambuster Lancaster that I haven't even started yet. I would like to see you build one of them. my kit can also make a grand slam bomber but Tamiya also do a seperate regular B1/111 Lancaster at the same price.

@Big-Modeller

I like bombers a lot, so it's possible that I'll make one in 1/48 after finishing most of my current projects. But it won't be a Lancaster ;)

Very nice series and well worth the time spent - the finished article is fantastic! When you paint the clear parts, is there a primer or coat of Future prior to the alclad silver?

No, I've used only Alclads on the clear parts. They grip the surface quite well.
