I had intended to build a standard Lancaster, at first glance it looked like all the bits were there. But after closer inspection it turned out that some bits appeared to be missing, particularly the fairings around the Mid Upper Turret. So I built from the box.

It was painted with Humbrol enamels and was my first go at painting camouflage freehand with the airbrush.

This was a cheap Korean Kit. It is of dubious accuracy , had massive fit issues but was good for me to learn to use the Airbrush.

The Kit

This was another Chinese $5 golo special, It was a real terrible kit to build as many parts didn't fit.  I used it to practice with the airbrush and try Tamiya acrylic paints. I liked the paints, particularly there application and clean up but the range is poor and I can't be bothered mixing them.
