AIRFIX DAMBUSTERS LANCASTER 1/72 scale model kit - BUILD PART ONE 1080p HD 

I like the ASMR effects in your videos. If one listens closely, they can hear the crickets outside your workshop. 🙂

I’m glued to this. 😊

Looking good, Garry. Remember to not fill the seam between the forward bomb-bay doors...They were opened to load the upkeep mine from the front. (It was too tall to be loaded from the rear.) After they closed the doors the vee-belt was refitted to the drive motor. Everybody loves Lancasters. Brilliant subject matter.

Thanks!

Nice run-through of the first part of the build! When I heard the dog barking, I was reminded of Gibson's N-worded pooch

Thanks for this, Gary. I have been making models for nearly 70 years now, and picked up a lot of tips from your vids. I will be using my model (when finished) to illustrate a talk at 42 Hangar, Blackpool airport in July.

Well done Gary it's looking very good, one of the things l like about watching these build videos and being a returning modeller is all the tricks and tips you can pick up by listening and watching what goes on looking forward to the next part 👍

Great stuff as usual Gary

If you don’t come back can I have your next egg,if you don’t can I have yours ,coming on nice Gary Mark 😊😊

I have not built a model for over 55 years, i have this one in its box to build. I dont remember them being so hard to be honest, and as much as i enjoyed the video, it has scared me rather a lot

Hi Gary, you are making great progress on this very iconic aircraft, looking forward to the next update, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia 👍👍

Nicely done! 🙂 It's a great looking aircraft; yet another that I built about 5-odd years ago now! I cheated with the painting and used rattle cans - spray cans - for the main underside, and the brown upper coat, then hand painted Humbrol 163 green (if I remember right.... or was it a LifeColour dark green? Can't remember, however, Humbrol 30 is just not the right colour!!), for the camo finish! I also didn't mask off the fuselage side windows, as I believe from various sources in books and online, that they were painted over to prevent light-bleed....😉

I have the battle of britain memorial flight by airfix to build with the hurricane and the spitfire with the awesome lancaster

Thanks

Hi, Gary,I I starting modelling in 1968, watched a lot of videos over the years but your videos are brilliant thanks George in Stoke 👍😂

Great video, nice progress. Thanks for sharing Gary. 😎🇨🇦

Just finished the Lancaster B . Putting in the two side cockpit blisters was a pain. I used pva glue to avoid frosting, but took ages to get them to stick. Wish the cockpit canopy was in one piece.

My first kit on returning to to modelling and as yet untouched as I then found out what had happened to modelling since my early teens! Back then I used what was in the box and nothing else exc. Paint of course! So this has been saved in the GS folder and will be watched again when I do finally make the plane. Now Gary may I suggest you wear gloves or those cots things as it’s impossible not to get grubby finger nails! And the macro really highlights the lot mate. Good work with great tips and experience shared, keep up the ace work! Bob England

Looking good so far Gary I like the idea of splitting your videos between the build and then the painting and weathering keep up the good work.

Bloody Brilliant work mate

Very interesting Gary thanks for the video marra . Regards Gav.

Hey Gary great video, about 5/6 weeks too late for me as I’m building BIII version at the moment. I had a massive issue putting the fuselages together, just didn’t line up and also some reaction when i was painting, suggestions think I should’ve washed the spures to get the releasing agent off - we live and learnt. Looking forward to seeing the finish article, good skills, cheers Liam

Navigators desk needed a copy of your upcoming book "Gary's Guide to fitting more stencils on your models" 🤔☕🐢

Another great video Gary, it really put me in the mood for my kit. What a disappointment though, warped fuselage and nothing went together to the extent that its now on the shelf of doom. Getting quite tired of being let down by Airfix kits and I've got a 1/24 Typhoon in the stash! Sorry for the rant, but you've made a great build mate.

Imagine a 1/24 Lacaster to compliment the Spitfre.

Have a look at the 1300mm 3dprinted scale flying model of the 3daeroworks Lancaster test flight video on my channel and rc groups for the build design thread

Why is it necessary to be so particular when spraying the inside of the fuselage? , I mean it's not going to be visible anyway as it's on the inside

Thoroughly enjoyed this Gary. Side note - I watched on t'big telly (therefore good sound) and there was a lot of background noise at times, like a radio or telly playing in the background. No biggie, but a bit distracting and I know you care about this stuff.

Hi Gary, I have a question. What do you mean by "imperial thumbs up"? Thanks!

Hi Gary, I'm new to modelling having only just completed my first airfix starter kit but find your work mesmerising...you make it look remarkably easy! Would you be able to list the tools and paint you use along the way for the model please? I'm hoping to make it my next kit and want to be fully prepared! Thanks for taking the time to share your work

👍✈️🇳🇿

Hi. Beginners question. I notice you put in painted parts using TET onto the painted surface. ( Instrument panel etc.) Can I do this without having to try and scrape paint off the very small parts?

23:43 bluds dead

Where is part two?

I thought we were supposed to be seeing some unboxing/seeing what's in the box?

Anyone ever get screwed over by a model shop?...happened to me today.

Good evening Gary, I’m wondering if I may use your thoughts per your last reply. I have yet to do so, as this is beyond the copyright law. I wish to include your name but that’s just it, I’ll be using your name . I will not include your thoughts to my next message to Airfix as you may not be wanting to be used. I did send the airfix shop a note already. This aircraft is my own love for Canadians and, trust me, we number in the thousands. Any way, I don’t want you to think of me as a nasty pest so there it is then. Forever in His service

Thanks!

Thanks!
