My next build will be a special one, this will be a tribute to all of bomber command and especially 617 sqn AJ*J was piloted by Flt Lt Maltby Crew Nav - Vivian Nicholson Bomb Aimer - John Fort Flt Eng - William Hatton Wireless - Anthony Stone Front Gunner - Victor Hill Rear Gunner - Harrold Simmonds as i understand it and please correct me if im wrong, AJ*J attacked the Mohne Dam dropping the 3rd Upkeep mine and causing a breech in the dam. This will be built using the Tamiya kit with, eduard interior etc, seatbelts, quickboost resin guns and weighted wheels and finished off with xtradecals 617 history decals |

Mark, I think your weighted wheels are post war tyres. I'm led to believe wartime Lancs had smooth tyres. I was going to get that set, but luckily for me my kit contains smooth weighted wheels.

Block tread pattern was introduced towards the end of the war years, but I've only ever seen pictures of Dambusters with the smooth tyres. Scampton was a grass field and the treaded patterns were introduced as more units were operating from tarmac runways. peebeep |

Nice start Mark. Always liked the look of this kit, built it once many, many moons ago and would happily do it again. Just be careful though, I think I see your friendly carpet monster about to strike in the top left of the first photo, happy looking little chap! Could be mistaken though, it may be your returning mojo!! Cheers, Warren |
