Nigel is back with a bang... I've been looking forward to this build serie.

My own note on T - Tommy, it wasn't meant to be used on the raid at all - the original bird developed a glycol leak as it was being readied for action on the day. everything was switched at the last minute - even then the crew was thirty minutes late taking off. From what I gather she kept her belly gun for the raid but it was never used.

Thanks Nigel. This looks like just what I need. Have built three tanks and one plane and been thinking of progressing onto a heavy bomber and a more intermediate build. Have just started airbrushing too. Will follow this with keen interest and a likely purchase, Chris.

@WayneBall-ve7bz Месяц назад

Nigel so glad you're doing this I've at last got the excuse to pull this out of my stash. Seen so far part 1 and that's where I'm at ,looking forward to part 2 of the build. Keep doing what you're doing. Looking forward to part 2.

Great tip on black CA and an accelerator, thanks for that. Great to see you back on top of your game, every chap should have at least one Lancaster in their collection !

@adrianfriend7599 Месяц назад

Nigel you have smashed it! Great words of modelling wisdom combined with historic research - I will forever remember the de-icer box step now 🙏. You bring gray sprues to life weaving research and assembly methods in a captivating narrative. More please kind sir !

Very good video, I have seen some details that I overlooked, but now I will be aware of them when I am putting together a kit.

I have the Hasegawa kit but I wish I waited for the Airfix kit. Thanks for tips.👍 Happy D-Day 80th anniversary.

@lesthiele4921 Месяц назад

Hi Nigel, this looks to be a great little build, I know by what I have seen of you work in the past, at the end this will be a stunning build when finished, I hope you ard 'bearing up' after your recent loss, very bedt regards from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les

@delcatto60 Месяц назад

Looking forward to this build. I just finished a Revell Lancaster and have a second Revell kit to build. Cheap and the decals were for aircraft based at airfields near me, so to honour those who flew them. Now tempted to buy that Airfix kit!

@nickjoy8868 Месяц назад

Been waiting so long for this! I'm absolutely delighted you've filmed this beautiful model as you work your magic. I have my kit ready to flip the lid, think I'll watch all the vids you have on this before starting. Many thanks Nige.

@andylittleford810 Месяц назад

Great video Nigel! Been waiting quite a while for this one. Might just have to go out and buy it now...

@darrylmasters5032 Месяц назад

So great to see you back Nigel

@iancarlin4694 Месяц назад

First and foremost I hope you are starting to feel a bit better following your loss. Great rerelease for me also Nigel. Just picked up an Airfix BOBMF set at Scottish national model show recently for £25. Primarily wanted it for the Lanc BIII which is the 2012 tool I believe and the version this dambusters kit is based on. Please correct me if I am wrong. I value your builds when I have the same kit as your expertise helps avoid errors and corrects mistakes which have been made in the kits. Looking forward to the series TY

@markfleming1605 Месяц назад

Nigel, another fantastic guide to building a fantastic kit. Kind regards, and I look forward to the next part

@tronmcconnell4465 Месяц назад

Great video Nigel. Glad to see you back at the bench, and hope you are getting along OK. Our thoughts are with you , mate.

@kevingreaves3242 Месяц назад

Nice one Nigel. I'm looking to do a Grandslam conversion so looking forward to your insights on colours etc

@Yves95128 Месяц назад

Hi Nigel, That looks like a nice kit👍🏻. I always wonder how they get misalignment in molds as the got alignment pins, mystery. (plus this kit is new). Nice to have you back👋🏻

@chrisberridge1346 Месяц назад

Great to see this build series, I love the Lancaster will look forward to this in the coming weeks as I recover from open heart surgery 2 weeks ago. Hope you are doing ok Nigel.

@stuart-xt3jo Месяц назад

cant find that exact kit on the airfix site they have A09007A different box art not 70th anniversay edition glad you back nigel hope you doing okay

@Forest_Fifer Месяц назад

Ive got the old 1980 tooling (the one that came in the 617 squadron box set along with a 1/48 Tornado), if nothing else this'll help with colours and techniques.

@SteveT-0 Месяц назад

Oh my word!!!! This is my lucky day indeed. I already ordered this and will get it next week, this is perfect timing! Thank you so much!

@NigelsModellingBench Месяц назад

Hope you enjoy it!

@johnkelly2098 Месяц назад

And we're off! Been looking forward to this one, Nige. So we start off with a mystery; what does the correct tail wheel look like? Wingleader books here i come. I hope you are feeling better, Nige, and getting back in the groove. Nil Carborundum!

@markoldreive Месяц назад

Nice video I’m sure many people will love this. I’m assuming this is the build you referred to that’s all done, especially as you said this was filmed 1/1/24. Looking forward to the next one.👍 I hope you’re doing ok?

Those drills are cnc pcb production drills and are also very brittle.

@darrylmasters5032 Месяц назад

I'd love to hear your thoughts on glues I gotta a draw full...I've got Tamiya white, lime, green top (my go to)...PVA glues of varying brands....CA glues from Bob Smith and VMS, now seems I need something for ABS as Tamiya works but takes a while.. I've been told Plastic Magic is best for ABS plastic.. but honestly glue is a mine field sometimes

@daveonbass79 Месяц назад

So glad to see that you're still posting. (Though was this really from January 1st??) Anyways I really trust your judgment so I wanted to ask your opinion in the new Very Fire 1/350 IJN Yamato with the detail up set (deluxe kit)? I really want to pull the trigger on the preorder price. But I have never seen the quality of that brand. So if you have any opinions on it I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks in advance. Cheers.

@markgordon2260 Месяц назад

Hi Nigel, hope that you are on the "mend". Just a question on the drillbits, is the discriminant between the knock-off Microbox and real MICROBOX drills the capitalisation of brand? Plenty of the former on sale down here, and Vallejo have the latter on sale - do you know whether the Vallejo ones are actually the real deal?

@NigelsModellingBench Месяц назад

In my experience the capitalisation is the difference. I wouldn't like to say if Vallejo are genuine?

@markgordon2260 Месяц назад

@hacheyp Месяц назад

Hey Nigel! What Tamiya LP paint or competitor would you suggest for my Thunderbolt natural metal finish??

@NigelsModellingBench Месяц назад

There are a million methods for NMF Paul.. best look around and see which one you like.

@hacheyp Месяц назад

Ok thanks.

@FinsburyPhil Месяц назад

I'd like to do a Grand Slam Lancaster with the front turret deleted. Can you recommend a conversion kit Nige, or is it just easier to get the older Tamiya B.I Special?

@NigelsModellingBench Месяц назад

I’m sure there is there a set out there.

Looking to buy same model but search mainly finds A09007A with a different box picture but similar price, still a dambuster special but for some reason different, any ideas Nigel before I purchase please?

@NigelsModellingBench 21 день назад

This kit has come in various box arts and versions. Scalemates is your friend here.

@Mariner311 Месяц назад

When was the original issue of this kit? I built one back in 1975 or so... one of my first kits as a youth.

@NigelsModellingBench Месяц назад

This is a newer tooling..

@allenjones5525 Месяц назад

I think the kit is even early than that as my mate and I made Aifix Dambuster in 1964....or thereabouts as it was just before the introduction of decimal currency in Australian on Feb 14 1966.... and i guess it might be even earlier than that but I would think there would be newer tooling by now.
