I
have 4 or 5 Lancs in the pile, but I'm not a collector!
I found the Arrow
Graphics decals at the Valley Hobby Shop in Rothesay NB and just had to finish
ONE kit in 2005 (in fact I just finished it this morning :-(.
This is the Mk.3 converted to a Mk.X and finished as the earlier version to
mimic the Canadian Warplane Heritage museums restoration of RCAF Lanc FW 213 to
VR-A of 419 Sqdn in which PO A. Mynarski lost his life and earned the
Victoria Cross.
Using an article on a 48th scale build as a reference, I added a very hard to
see full cockpit, moved the mid-upper turret forward & replaced the tires
(she uses Shackleton wheels & tires, easier to find?) Model Master &
Pollyscale acrylics, very slight weathering as befits a museum bird and a simple
base from the dollar store.
