To heck with it, started up a new Photobucket while I wait. Anyway, as previously mentioned I got underway on the big Lanc on the weekend and progressed through the first couple pages. BIG instruction book. I decided to do the A model as it's a RCAF bird. I really wanted to do that rear facing belly gun on the RAF version, but, I really wanted to pay tribute to my country history. Anyway, here's the boxtop:
Most of you know, I'm sure, these usually start off with the bomb bay as the core construction prior to fusing the fuselage halfes. My poor lighting, as usual, cannot show the black contour washes and very light steel drybrush to just bring up some high and lows (had to hand-write in the Humbrol colours on the instructions 
):
Right side up showing cockpit installed with pilot seat, elevated base and instrument panel. Unlike the Revell version I recently completed, Airfix provides these spars to extend out and start the framing for the wheel wells. Very nice feature compared to Revell (I may throw out a few side by side comparasins as the memory is fresh).
A bit of a closeup of the instrumentation. Decal, of course, but, it's sharp and well defined with some colour, which, is a plus. The downside: NOT ever going to be visible again once the greenhouse is on (just a blurry splotch through the thick plastic canopy.
Here's the fuselage half, masked with bare metal foil. PROBLEM: the ceiling 'port-holes' are not cut out like on the Revell version. Don't know how I'm going to get a piece of round clear plastic in to fill these windows? Any ideas? Does that liquid window making stuff really work? The Revell version had these cut out and a clear plastic round window for each window.
The whole assembly dry fit into the left fuselage. All windows masked with bare metal foil. The nav and radio table is installed with maps on the table top. Cute, but, again, won't be well seen again. I left the bomb site unpainted as I wanted to look at references to see what sort of colours: black. Oh well, in 1/72, there's really not much to see, but, as it will be visible through the front bubble, I thought a bit more would have made it pop. Will lightly drybrush it to try to give a bit of depth. Added bare metal foil harness as the harness was fixed to the pilot whom I will not use.
That's it for now. Interesting that you guys were talking about colour match earlier in this thread. I have limited access to a LHS, so, I gotta make due. Thus, my Interior Green is not out of the bottle. A bit of Tamiya dark green darkened slightly. The interior, as you can see above, is not stark black. I used dark iron, darkened slightly, to offer a contrast to the black insrtumentation and overall black finish. So, on the bench is the right fuselage half which I need to mask and paint the interior. More to follow. Thanks for lookin' thus far.
