You can go Tamiyausa.com site and find the Lancaster kit. Some have links for the manual guide that you can print out in English version. It can't be any different than the old one you have compared to the Lancaster kits of today.

Cool, this should be interesting, as you said a real classic kit there. And unlike an American heavy bomber the RAF painted their planes so no annoying NM finish. Plus those Eduard masks should make the masking much, much, easier. 

The decals looks usable though I don't think I'd try using that plastic cement!

Hmm, considering the apparent age of the kit, it might be a good idea to get hold of some Microscale Liquid Decal Film (or something similar) as a precaution in case the decals break up when they hit the water.

Wow, nice old kit of a clasic bomber.

Beware of the engine nacelles to wing fit. I recall having to use quite a bit of filler on all four engines.

It is a very nice kit if you take your time and  don't mind raised panel lines

AND probably get a high-resolution scan of the sheets, just in case you have to print them on new film.  Good luck, should be fun!

The fuselage windows were a feature of the early Lancs & were deleted in later production runs.

Tohsi, I don't know my British bombers that well but the shot of the fuselage seems to me to have a lot of windows in it. I know the Brits made a airliner version of the Lancaster, could this kit represent that or does this version have that many windows? Tim

Should be a good one. I sent you a PM about the instructions.

The last several days were beautiful!  The weather here is now sunny and at a cool 70 degrees.  This is a perfect scenario to go outside on the patio to AB a kit.  I've had the chance to primer the Lancaster.  Please see below for a progress report.

Toshi

There are so many windows, the Lancaster looks like a 747.  LOL!

Of all the planes I have painted, I think the Lancaster was by far the most fun.  Maybe it was the thought that black, instead of white or light gray, wasn't so intimidating.  Have fun Toshi.
