Title: Lancaster Mk III
Post by: mattrcaf on March 18, 2011, 01:49:39 AM

Time for a new profile, this time a Lancaster.

I am trying a different approach this time, saving out all major areas as seperate files, wings, fuselage, fin etc. Lancaster has variants with different engines, fuselage, turrets etc, just like the Halifax. I learned the hard way on the Halifax so this time I will apply what I've learned and see if it makes the project go faster.
BTW, I live 40 minutes from the one of only two flying lancasters in the world, so I have lots of images and a real example to work from.

Excellent subject!

If you ever see fit, I'd very much enjoy a Mk. II profile in the future. I've got a plan to build a radial engined Lancaster from the Tamiya 1/48th kit......someday in the future.

A mark II is in the plans, starting with the merlin engined lancs then will do the radial engine version.

I'm in no hurry, Matt--work your magic with the Merlin machines and we'll enjoy!

Progress is going slow, lots of research to get the details right. I am currently working on the wing and
engines as a separate file....

Just a quick update. I haven't spent much time on my profile as I just started a new job in the aerospace industry last month, but the wings are done and I am nearly done the front turret and nose section.
