Thanks Nigel for your wonderfully instructive videos. I don't miss one. I have got the brass landing gear legs from aerocraft models you just reviewed and they are indeed a beautiful rendering of the plastic ones and a much needed addition to this heavy model. In fact, for my HKM B-17 and B-25 I used brass gears which makes a world of a difference. I hope these folks come up with a brass set for the 1/32 Lancaster as well, just to be on the safe side. Here in Puerto Rico the temperatures range between the mildly hot to the extreme hot and humidity is always very high, which tends to play havoc with the plastics and some metals,especially the white metal and having a heavy model on weak plastic landing struts lends itself for trouble. Thanks again for your great instructional videos. Please keep them up.
You're more than welcome George. It is very satisfying to read comments like yours, makes this all worthwhile.. If you suffer high heat in your region, you migh want to check how thin the wing sections are on your Lancaster. I would suggest adding something to the inside skin. I'm talking about the upper skin on the port wing and lower skin on the starboard.
Good Day Nigel. Thanks for the good advice. Indeed I shall reinforce both wings as suggested by you and seen in a previous video when you talk about the thin wings. Even thus I will tackle the Lanc later this year, it is important to get all these bits of insight from the masters like you. Thanks again my friend for your wonderful videos, they are indeed worthwhile doing, makes all the difference in the world for the rest of us out here trying to figure out these new breed of models with all their great features and shortcomings . All the best.
Good Day Nigel. Previously I mentioned to you my HKM B-17G, and here is a link to a video of what I did with that bird. It won Popular Best of Show at the 2014 IPMS-USA Nationals. Hope you like it. All the best my friend. ruclips.net/video/gauspN_oB10/видео.html
I made my own out of brass wish i would have found this video and this product before u soent hours making these out if brass from scratch but they turned out amazing lots if timy solder joints and polishing and sanding smooth
Dear Nigel Did you ever get the correct or revised transparent parts of the front and rear gunners turrets for this B24J by Hobby Boss Cheers and keep up the great work you do Stefano
@@NigelsModellingBench It's not really necessary just curious. I was partner in a model shop years ago and we did fine scale model railways as well and I saw quite a few things in lost wax casting for the model railway stuff. Often I'd use things from model railways on the plastic model side.
I have found that you could put a ton of weight in some models and putting the model back on the tail, it would not pop up. But, if you put the weights in the engines, their position on the wing makes the model go back up, even if the tail is on the ground.
Basically you inject molten cold lead into the plastic walls and watch it merge with the plastic and become one. As you can tell, I dont have an answer,, but I do know it's gonna be more like 400 grammes if the instructions recommend 300.?
I always suck my white metal parts,then nibble off the seam lines.Those plastic efforts were a bit hopeful.The sleeve gives it a nice spot to pivot,right were the load is..The brass ones look good,handy HB were going to use(it would seem)metal,so Aeroscale didnt have to mould the whole thing.
Ahoy Nigel Got to Get Me A Set don't Know What Hobby Boss Was Thinking Boxing Plastic Landing Gear Struts I Will Not Use The Kits Landing Gear. I Would Say Perhaps In The Future they Will Incorporate Metal Landing Gear Buit After your Demonstration Of the Strength Of the Oleos No Way I will Use the kits Landing Gear Great Tip and video buddy Thanks for the Info Frankie Day

Dear Nigel

Cheers and keep up the great work you do
Stefano
Yes I did. I bought the cold war studios ones. I did a review of them..
@@NigelsModellingBench thank you
Nice, I wonder if they'll do a complete undercarriage in brass with the exterior parts as one.
Peter Field I can ask? I doubt it though??

Any idea WHERE you are going to put 300 grams of weight WITHOUT destroying the interior detail?

Hope you ok.

Hi Frankie. Dont forget to tell Alistair you saw them here...
You could have a new gimmick - the Gloved Modeller....
Andy Richards big bad blue hand!!
