pictures of my world war 2 bomber base, my new 'flag staff' installed !!!!!!!!

Amazing job!

What scale is it? 1/72 maybe?

Very impressive!

very nice!

Ian;

Excellent piece. All it needs now is the Squadron Commanders Dog from the Dam-Busters and you've recreated the movie in miniature.

As was said before a great way to display the Lancaster. I am actually on my way to attend my first meeting of a new modelling club here in Hamilton, Ontario and meetings are held at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum where there is one of the two flying Lancaster left in the world.

Again great build.

Cheers;

Wow, amazing. How big is this thing?

Only one comment, and its with your photos, rather than with the dio. I'd suggest using some kind of other backdrop than that glaring yellow. One, it makes the pictures garrish, and two, it alters the tones of the rest of the image elements, such as your models, and does not lend a flattering light.

Fantastic job,the dio is great and with all the details.

Full of work to do.

Congratulations

Pedro

Beautiful work,and the Lanc is one of my favorites. Very Intersting dio. If you are in the UK.... have you been to the Imperial War Museum in South London???? They have a full Lancaster front section you can sit in. I have built the Tamiya Lanc dam-buster in 1/48th. Cheers

hello wilbur wright,   Always wanted to go to that museum, but it is a bit too far away to travel.  Good thing is where i live at about half an hours drive, there is 'THE MEMORIAL FLIGHT' in lincolnshire, where LANCASTER PA 474 can be seen and watched flying, as well as other fighters. And just beyond that is 'EAST KIRKBY' which is a fine little muesum and holds LANCASTER NX611, which is a 'live' lanc' and can be seen doing a full run up of her 4 merlins and taxying out AWESOME SOUND...........i've got two of the tamiya 1/48 lanc's built up- a grand slam, and a b1.['POS']. and i've just started the dambuster,  what colour did you do the mine in ??? tamiya says silver, airfix says olive drab,  revell says grass green. yet all mines i've seen are black   [needs to be done right]

     thanks....................ian

went to my local model model shop today and saw a 1/72 scale 'raf' flag,just had to buy it and then i set too in making a simple pole arrangement out of plastic card and white cotton.very  easy to make and now my dio looks a bit more finished.  thanks for all the replies and there will never be any more yellow back grounds !!!!!....never knew you could buy tiny cloth  flags !!! ...................thanks  ian
