I'm back, with what seems a daunting task! All the way back when i was 23 i started my first ever build of a 17' Lancaster. Before starting this project i had only ever built a Tutor 40 ARTF.
With the help and support from the LMA and in particular Dave Johnson's phone calls of "Stop being soft and get it done
" i ended up with a flying Lancaster which I hope a few of you managed to see.I must add it wouldn't of been possible without my late good friend Dave Bailey, many a day he would drive all the way up to see me and we would spend hours getting the engines to run together! I hope he is going to look over me this time!
The problem with my last Lancaster was that i had to take the bedroom door off to get it out of the room
, the Fuselage had a home on the stairs and the wings were just too big to get up stairs. This time we are going to split it up 
Iv'e already been asked why build another Lancaster?
1.Why not?
2. loved building the last one from the ground up
3. The presence in the air was fantastic
4. No one in my family got to see the last one fly
5. Just love seeing the Lancaster, and remembering what 617 squadron did for us all!
Watching Craig from Canada build his has also made me see where i went wrong, see where i can improve on the build.
I will upload some photos soon of the new build, its taking shape! Hope to see you all soon.
Here is my inspiration from my last model.
