For the first episode we concentrate on the pilot’s position and instrument panel.

Respect right there 🙏
This is going to be epic ! I saw this massive kit box in a store yesterday. Will be following along Steve 👍
Come on Pete get it bought and build it in tandem with Steve....👌
😂😂😂
Be careful. It will be calling out to you. I caved when I first saw the sprue reviews.
Wow, DETROIT watching very excited my Friend💪💪💪👍
👍
Colour selection and drybrushing looks great! Interesting first part!
Thank you 👍
HI Steve, thanks to your videos I finished the Hood with the pontos set! Now i have build the trumpeter submarine what was great and now i will look at your build of the Lancaster. Greetings from the Netherlands. Pieter
Thanks Pieter glad you got your Hood done it’s a big job. Congratulations
I really enjoy watching your builds Steve and i always come away feeling like i learned something. Looking forward to the next installment.
thanks for that Craig 👍
Hi Steve, this is going to be a epic and fantastic build, I will be watching this build very closely, very best wishes for the build, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia
Hope so Les
OH MY!! The size of the BOX!!! It looks like the size of a moving box!!! WOW!!! Nice work on the cockpit so far! I believe Wingnut Wings went out of business when this was still early in development. They were still likely in the quality assurance, and functionality phase of engineering. It sounds like HK, and border models just aren't up to Wingnut Wings standards. However, for over $700, you would think that you wouldn't already be running into issues on page one! You are doing an amazing job with it as usual though! Eagerly awaiting the next update!
yes the instructions are poor for any value kit never mind one of this price
Very interesting Steve, surprising the amount of issues encountered (and probably will continue to uncover) but no doubt you will overcome! Looking forward to following this build.
Hope so Richard - can’t afford to screw this one.😬🙈
This made my day. May you have an enjoyable/rewarding build, Steve.
hope so thanks 👍
commissions !!! Well done my friend - You have earnt the accolade
Maybe Ralph - depends if the client likes what I do with it 🤔
Really looking forward to both of these builds. I think the Wingleader book on the Lancaster is a must given what you've said about the instructions.
I guess there already are three Wingleader books, and of course the Dambuster book with amazing colour drawings!
Yes I’ve got those - good references
Been looking forward to this series for a while , hopefully will give me the courage to start mine
Please do don’t leave it in the box
any way ain't seen ya in a few weeks your still the best at what you do outstanding
Thanks Jim
FYI Steve. Just about every British aircraft in WW2 had RAF interior green as a standard, with certain things like the panels, radios being black. Obviously, there were other knobs and switches with random colour details, all dependent on aircraft type. It can be hard to imagine but, I’ve seen that repeatedly on a few different Lancasters, one Hurricane, one Mosquito, three different Spitfires, a couple of Ansons. The colour swatches and legend from your Tamiya Mosquito instructions are a really great help.
Thanks Mike I’m pretty convinced about the overall interior green so that’s what I’m going for
Oooh...I shall pull up a chair. I have this in the stash, so will be watching with great interest!
welcome on board David
Great start Steve! Look forward to the build. Cheers!
Thank you Jeff 👍
Great start Steve. This is going to be a brilliant series. Way above my skill set and pay grade but super to watch along!
Thanks David
It's funny I bought this kit &going to build it next looking forward to this as I did with your mossie
enjoy Barney 👍
I used the seat with the moulded in seat belts. With careful painting they look excellent, far better than etch belts. The mouldings that good!!!
Nice to have the choice in the kit Barry.
Epic choice, it should be a memorable build!
Thanks looking forward to it
As ever brill work
Thanks Stephen
This is gonna be a long one, good luck and look forward to your progress 😊
Yup I reckon 4 months so stick with me 😂
… I love your work and informations… 👍🙂
Thank you Alberto 👍
I was curious about this product, but I enjoyed the video🤗😉
Thank you
I shall follow with interest! And yes, twas I that said this was the most disappointing release of the year when it came out, mainly due to the canopy/clear parts travesty, but more so for me was the lack of inflight ability. As I have the HK version as well, I intend on creating 2 models, kitbashing the Border interior to make a cutaway with the HK exterior parts and using some external and internal HK parts to help get the Border Lanc in the air! Cheers Chris
Hi Chris you’re a brave man hacking these up good luck with that
Oh, boy… Here we go!
Indeed here we go.😬
Nice work Steve, looks great already, this kit is still for sale in Australia on special for around $950.00 AUD, the new Dam Buster is just over $1050.00 AUD, looks like a good line up for the next lot of builds, I'll be interested to see what you can do with the Italeri kit...
Me too there’s a ton of AM to go on that hope to start next week
Great build and vid 💞💪👍🍺🙏
Thanks 👍
Bonjour Steve, te voilà repartis sur un gros chantier que je vais suivre avec intérêt. Bon montage.
Merci Richard 👍
Thanks!
Thanks James
Looks cool. 🛩
Thank you 👍
I wonder if the issue with the seat not sitting level is because you removed those plastic side pieces? I think I would sand off the moulded seatbelts on the alternate seat and use that instead. Of course, that would depend on whether or not there was a seat cushion or if the pilot sat on his parachute. A pity WnW didn’t release this kit - the instructions would have been much much better. You’re doing a marvellous job on this, Steve, and I’m following intently because I really want to build a 1/32 scale Lancaster. 👍🏻👍🏻🙂
thanks Ronald there was often a seat cushion and the parachute stowed on the back of the seat. Maybe on reflection I would use the molded belt option if I did it again. but I’m not so I won’t 😂😂
So nice to follow you on this big adventure 👍And yes instruction are absolutely bad as normal on Border models kits 😢
Enjoy 😉
Possibly the worst instruction manual I’ve come across 🥲
Honestly I completely screw the WF because of that topic … And maybe the Kate is a beautiful kitty but not for me because of that… But I’m absolutely sure you do a amazing Lancaster with your skill and your patience
All the best 👍
Good video thanks lee
Thanks Lee
Those stay/hinges broke on my model too. Nice to know it's not just me!!
😬😂
Steve, might I suggest you using Tenax 7R, or Plastruct plastic weld. They handle bonding disparate types of plastics.
Thanks John the Revell contacta does the trick
dspiae produce an anti fogging super glue - not cheap but does work
Maybe I’ll get some Ralph
Very nice.
Thank you 👍
👍👍👍👍👍
👍
Looking good!
Can i ask a couple of questions please:
What mix of green / grey did you use to get the internal green colour?
How did you go about painting the photoetch seat belts?
Looking forward to part 2!
The mix was just by eye - I’m guessing 1 part grey in 10 green but you should experiment. The belts are annealed and shaped: primed and sprayed overall khaki drab, then brush painted with lighter and darker mixes of the KD to shade them a bit. finally pick out the buckles and studs with a bit of silver.
Steve you got place to put it? Its HUDGE
I’m building it for someone else so I don’t have to worry about that michal
@@TheModelShediv got same problem with scale 1/16
ok on that a round Lancaster go to an old royal Air force museum if they don't have one thear find an old bomber pilot that flew one an ask him what the colors wear
👍
The noise at the begining? Ow !
Spine chills eh 😬
@@TheModelShed no . Painful.
Hope you make a better job and get it finished unlike Nigel’s modelling bench
Nigel never finishes anything, he's probably the only channel I don't subscribe to.
I always finish. 😬
Agree… i spent 30 plus hours watching Nigel not finish the kit. But I know lots about his dog, his car and his friends… not what I signed up for.
