Finally completed the Airfix Lancaster from 1980. I'll let the photos do the talking.

Nice, thats come up a treat, looks really good. Very menacing with the large dark areas underneath, almost a stealth look....
I have one in my stash that will be built at some point.

Cheers Richard. It was a real saga in the end, but mostly due to my errors and the ancient decals. The kit itself stands up well today.

Spot on Joe, a really great finish. That does not look like a 45 year old kit, splendid.

Cheers Tony. It was a nice kit considering it was 45 years old.
