Revell 1/72 Avro Lancaster B.III 'Dambuster'

Not quite matching the giddy heights offered by the new Airfix version - the dihedral here is almost non-existent - but still quite a nicely detailed beastie. Built OOB with the help of an Eduard canopy mask.

Here's a tip.... I decanted some of my Ultimate wash - Concrete to be exact - into one of those little glass jars you get Creme Brulee in and let it dry completely. I then used it as a powdered pigment to create the sooty exhaust stains. I have done this with most of my Ultimate washes! :)

Uhh thats a stunner Gary! I´m impressed, it is not 1/144 scale and OOB haha :) excellent work, the trick for the exhaust stains will be handy, thank you.

Nice job, you've achieved a great finish on it. Love the weathering also.

Wouldn't know it was 1/72 scale from those photos!

Great Model & Great Tip !!

I shall be trying that very idea, not only with the concrete but the dark\light dirt & rust washes, ooh the added possibilities !

Well shared sir ! :thumb2:

Looks beautiful, Gary! Great tip with the wash. I usually spray mine on using Fl@ry models wash. Takes ages and easily messed up! Consider your idea stolen, lol! :cheers2:

Is this an original Revell mould or one taken over from Frog ?
