Hi to you Wayne The brush on super glue is great, here in australia you can get the brush on supa glue made by SELLEYS and available from COLES SUPERMARKETS in a 5ml bottle. Hope this helps those in australia who watch your videos. Thanks for doing those because i am at part 16 to 19, hope that some of the small faults get to me.

Thanks for showing the glue, I’ll nip into Leicester to get some while I’m shopping. I might need some if I go in for the Dalek part work.

this is my favourite build. the details are great, although some are very fiddly

Thanks Wayne, good to see how goes together. I myself am not going to bother doing any of these. With the turret not finished, and the 3 coloured lens, and then with turning upside down, it’s bound to pull off the ammunition belts, especially as it’s going to be turned upside down again to fit other parts. My understanding is we move back to engines 3 and 4 looking at the next issues, So quite why we mess about with theses only to then leave it for 20 issues to build engines 3 and 4 I just don’t get. The wheel is put together and turret and wires for guns only to not come back to them until July !
So rather than store these away part built until July at the earliest I’m going to put these unopened boxes away and skip these issues. I think it’s just unbelievably crazy to leave all these bits unfinished and unconnected. To me pointless, should have gone straight to issue 52 and build engines 3 & 4, but I guess Hachette needed time to solve the engines issue and get that sorted. But again a better dc motor would have solved that too. It’s just a poor cheap motor that can’t overcome the teeniest friction in my opinion

Looks like problems already similar to the spitfire....good luck😁

That was a quick section. I'm surprised how long the ammunition ducts were, I'm guessing it's done that way for weight distribution.

How is it that they release a model with a few faults that when they do a prototype that any issues that arises during the build would have been rectified before the main production started.

Hello Wayne. Great site. I am building the Lancaster bomber. I'm on issue 50. I have read one of the comments asking about the jig. Do you know of any other type of jig that would do the same job. I think I will be a bit stuck. This is my first build. Thank you for any help.

Hi wayne I think you can say rear armaments without being penalise by utube

[richardlewis]

Hi wayne, could you please let me know how to get the jig to put the model on. Thanks.

Just noticed the Yellow float device next to the jaws model nice touch Wayne Did u 3d print it 👍 oh in case i dont get chance All the Best for 2025 Happy New Year.

Part 50.. they are devices for propelling small pieces of metal accurately 300 yards away. Pity there isn't a simple word for expressing all that. Oh wait. There is but nanny You Tube doesn't like it.
