Hi guys.
I started this model in June 17th 2010 and finished it on September 1st 2010 not bad going i reckon to say all my building and work is carried out on a 'tea tray' !
This one is a wheels up version and i had to make it as a flying version because i brought this kit off ebay for buttons and had been started by another modeller.
who completely ruined all the landing gear/prop's/clear parts with glue so i had to throw them away. I added a few more detail parts to this model like spent bullet
chutes on the rear turret and armour plate, altered the frame work lines on the front turret, also added 'PropBlurs' to make it look as if it really is
flying. The stand is homemade.

The model is DX * A. LM624 of 57 sqd a Lancaster which flew from RAF East Kirkby now home to Just Jane Avro Lancaster

For the air minded modeller, or for those who like models in general, the Northern Wings Model Show will take place in Edmonton, Alberta, on 2 October. This is an all aircraft show, held every two years, which boasts some of the finest aircraft models one will find.

The contest will be held at the Alberta Aviation Museum, located in the heart of Edmonton at the Edmonton Municipal Airport. There are many wonderful airplanes to look at from Canada's rich aviation heritage, including a couple of restoration projects, and a jet that your's truly has logged hours in. All and all, it's a great day out.

Check out their website for all the details.

In just 15 days some of the finest AFV models in western Canada will be display at the Alberta AFV Model Show in Calgary, Alberta. Modellers travel from as far away as Vancouver (a 12 hour drive for those who are counting) to come see some outstanding examples of armour and figure modelling.

The contest will be held on 18 September at The Military Museums in Calgary, where one will not only find the models, but many of their 1:1 scale counterparts.
