The Border Models 1/32 Lancaster BI/III
i have been working on various nose detail parts. I have a bit more work on the above before I fit them. I have also test fitted the rear fuselage. I am pleased with the fit. Below you can see some of the work behind the ‘pit. Below you can see a bit of a gap between the front and...- BarryW

The Border Models 1/32 Lancaster BI/III
I found that the top-rear insurt fits perfectly. Glued into place I then attached some aerial and a screen. I have also been working on the internal canopy framing getting it ready for airbrushing. There is just a little filler needed in three places where the fuselage joins will show...- BarryW

The Border Models 1/32 Lancaster BI/III
I have made some slow progress and this is no kit for beginners! As you can see the bomb bay is in place. After some cutting and filing it went together. Firstly fitting the outer front fuselage sides has been a real struggle. I have done this over several days, having to break off before...- BarryW

The Border Models 1/32 Lancaster BI/III
Back to the bench with this big Lanc. On Nigels Modeling Bench he points out that the bomb bay needs fitting to the nose section early on as it won’t fit if fitted as per instructions. Well Nigel might have pointed out that even at this early stage it is difficult to fit and, to do so, I...- BarryW

Greetings from the South Atlantic!
Well our ship has had a minor prang in Puerto Deseado and needs some repairs. Looks like we will be here for a day and will miss the next scheduled port. Had a run ashore yesterday with my son and had a delicious steak! Anyway this sign amused me. I will say nothing more about it. -

A great day at Port Stanley A bus tour of the battlefields then a pint of Iron Lady ale at The Victory pub. -
Greetings from the South Atlantic!

Greetings from the South Atlantic!
Meet my new friend, he wanted to come and hug me but it’s not a good idea with all bacteria in their mouths a bite would mean evacuation to hospital in Port Stanley. This is before he stopped feeding and noticed me. At Gritvyken of Falkland War fame. Scout Helicopter anyone? -
Greetings from the South Atlantic!
Well at South Georgia. I opted out of a landing this morning because of ny sciatica. Got some good photos though. -
Greetings from the South Atlantic!
My younger son who is in charge of photography. Not what you usually get on a normal cruise, not ripping you off taking photos of you to sell you, no. His job is to help passengers with their own photography, he was briefing people yesterday on how to get better landscapes and wildlife photos... -
Greetings from the South Atlantic!
On the way to South Georgia on the expedition ship Silversea Wind. Met up with my son, who is the ships expedition photographer and the sea is rather choppy! Not much to see at the moment but sea. I have, however, met an ex-USN aviator, flew F4’s and several other interesting people. Less... -
The Border Models 1/32 Lancaster BI/III
I have brought the cockpit and bomb aimers assemblies together. All fitted well but needed some tlc to get them together. I have also worked on the outer clamshells, a bit of painting, windows and other ‘bits’ fitted. Hole drilled for antenna. Here is a dry fit. Ignore the gaps, these...- BarryW

The Border Models 1/32 Lancaster BI/III
I have had a bit of a slow period, three or four days when my back was too bad for the bench and a few days more when I could only do up to half an hour a day. It has also been slow going detail painting the cockpit and weathering. . . The decals continue to be utterly useless. I only...- BarryW

The Border Models 1/32 Lancaster BI/III
I have been working on cockpit subs and finished the I.p. I had decided to use the kit individual instrument decals and not get an am part. That was a mistake because although the decals are commendably thin with no carrier film, they curl and don’t hold together well. In the end I only...- BarryW

The Border Models 1/32 Lancaster BI/III
More work on internal subs before I get the airbrush out. Brilliant detail, but again the instructions leave a lot to be desired. Part B53 is a light shade that needs to be attached by ‘rigging’ and exactly where it needs to be located is not made clear. I worked out where I thought...- BarryW

The Border Models 1/32 Lancaster BI/III
I have managed an earlier start than expected, my lady decided to go for a swim in the sea (yes, the sea in December and has been doing so almost daily), she is mad, I know, but it leaves me free to get on the bench. I have built up some of the cockpit sub-assemblies to the stage where I need...- BarryW

I have completed my little ‘side build’ of the two Merlin’s, a Packard and a Rolls Royce For those who dont know the B1 Lancaster had Rolls Royce Merlin’s while the BIII Lancaster had Packard built Merlin’s. Given this kit includes both Merlin’s it occurred to me that it would be nice to see...- BarryW
