Lancaster Mk III
« 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, some fuselage shading and panel lines, so far things are moving quickly.

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.
