Hasegawa's 1/72 scale
Avro Lancaster B.Mk.III

by Tetsuro Matsuo

Hasegawa's 1/72 scale Lancaster B.Mk.I / B.Mk.III is available online from Squadron

Here is my 1/72 scale Hasegawa Lancaster, "Piccadilly Princess"

I obtained the gold prize with this work in Master Class of JMC contest in 2006 (Joyful Modelers Convention with Hasegawa), and was promoted to Grand-Master Class.

 
The main modifications were as follows.

• I scratch built two engines by myself from Evergreen plastic strip and thin lines of solder.

• I added various self-made parts to the inside of fuselage & turrets

• On the surface, I thinned the panel lines, reproduced the difference of the panel seams of the panel by building up super glue

• Rivets were added using Hasegawa's etching saw

• Transparent areas were replaced with self-made parts.

• Nose-art and all marks are done by painting.

• The flaps remodeled it in the lowered state.

I did not use after-market parts at all.
