This kit is 34 years old. It's discontinued now and seemingly hard to find anymore.

I opened the box and it smelled like old news papers and the catologue inside was from 1975.
kinda cool actually!

I'm building this for my father'n law for Christmas as he is a Lancaster NUT but doesn't build so Ssshhhh!
I'm going to try to build this out of the box however I will scratch build the flap assembly with styrene from Evergreen
as it will be landing on a diorama base(She gonna be a big'n!) I will be using prop blurs as well.

I was concerned about the old decals and finding the POS sugar ones in 1/48 from an aftermarket dealer is going to be hard, so I
tested one off the sheet that I was not using and it functioned fine so fingers crossed.

I will post lots of build photo's but will post links to try and take it easy on the bandwidth here.

Well, here I go. As always any suggestions or links or whatever are greatly appreciated. I really feel that building a Lanc is almost a right
of passage for an aircraft builder so I hope I don't screw it up.![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Fotunately I do have lots of time so no rush.
