Today I'm building at the 2012 kit of the Dambusters Lancaster bomber in 1/72 scale from Airfix. In Part Two I'll go from a kit ready to paint to the completed kit.

I love this kit Gary. My most prized possession for many years came from a visit to the Big and Expensive factory that maintained the Lancs for the BBMF with school. I loved the Lanc from a very young age and being in the Sea Cadets and being a bit savvy when they were teaching us about her, they let me put a pop rivet into the wing and gace me the bit that pops off to keep. That very year i went to an airshow with the cadets and "my lanc" as i came to think of her was in the air. I bought a bone china cup of the lanc from the airshow and kept the rivet inside. For nearly 20 years that rivet head was inside that cup until I had to move for work. I still have the cup, alas the rivet head was lost.
Whilst I also enjoy the sort of detailed builds that can take a dozen episodes to go through, your 'get it done' approach is great and always enjoyable. It reminds me that the end result is as important as the process. There's room in the hobby for all different types of approaches and video styles.
There is Phil and the hobby is all the better for it!
I find building everything onto the wings and then attach the wings last makes it easier to assemble the undercarridge parts.works for me.
Very informative. The undercarriage assembly was concerned about assembly. I doing a grandslam conversion my biggest drama now is wheel well and undercarriage paint 😮
“Rad shutters auto” superb Gary ,the masking putty looks like something out of doctor who 😂,I have a livery silver plated corgi Lancaster ,all the best bud
Mark 😊😊
Nice work!👍 we had a Dambuster pass away a few years ago his name was Les Munro.. cheers from NZ🇳🇿✈️
The new release of the kit from Airfix has Les Munro’s AJ-W as one of the decal options.
@@garys_stuff Wow!. thanks for that👍🇳🇿✈️
Looks great Gary 👍🏻🇦🇺
Thanks 👍
Yep Yep this was as good as number 1 , Bloody well done
Thanks mate!
Great job. I will have to buy one of the anniversary kits when they are available.
It's got to be before May - hasn't it????
@@garys_stuff In Australia we have learnt to be patient.
@@tonygamson2911 it's a long way to fly on four Merlins, I suppose...!
@@garys_stuff Indeed it is but totally worth the journey when you get here
HI, Gary More skill and detail on a fine kit , also an entertaining and inspirational video for anyone new to model making . You have travelled many miles since showing how to grow Radishes , lol . I finally finished my fourth Vulcan , they now hang from the ceiling in a strange sort of formation . My other modelling friend came round to take a look , and just as I thought I was about to hang up the Humbrol for good , today he dropped off a victor , a Valiant, and a small scale F6 Lightning . Turns out he has an attic room full of partly built kits , and won't have time to complete them . Thanks , Gary . Keep up the superb work .
Very nice Gary looks smashing well done mate watching you finish her off, made me think I'll dig out the film and add a Lancaster to my stash next time I'm out 🤣
Great film, pretty good kit.
Nice work Gary.
Nice work Gary Newton and windsor galleria varnish with either a couple of drops of water ot lacquer thinner works for me its fairly cheap you can get it from the range or on line , and of course vms varnish . The landing gear didn't defeat you in the end . Regards Gav.
Cheers marra - I use the Galleria for matte finishes, I'll check out the gloss as well. And VMS - heard about that on your channel before and thought I'd investigate!
10k well done mate really enjoyed the journey so far
i always find that with airfix... especially bombers.. the 2 halves of the airframe dont go together very well. I find this with attaching the wings too.
The tail gunner couldn't have his parachute in the turret with him, so if he had to bale out, had to turn the turret square on to the aircraft, open the doors behind him, enter the fuselage to get his parachute and put it on, get back in the turret, turn it 90 degrees so his back was to the open air, then fall out backwards. All while the aircraft was - probably - burning and/or out of control. Plus of course an attacking fighter knew if the tail gun was out of action they could attack low to the rear with impunity so that was the first target. Needless to say not as many survived as other positions.
Unsure about the Upkeep mine's colour. Some suggest a rusty red, others a dark green. Munro's crew is known to have painted theirs black. Unsure about the stripes too.
Just going by the Airfix cue for the colour and bands on the Upkeep. Yellow would indicate a live round, of course, and maybe the red a 'special' munition - I know the nukes had a broken red band for that reason.
Vallejo is known to be temperamental, I've had issues like you described - I assume it's Moisture that caused the problem - Nice work.
Just not convinced with polyurethane. They use it in their primer and I've never got that to wrk satisfactorily, despite watching their videos!
Great kit Gary! I'll be sure to purchase one!
I supose the turrets could be made turnable so that one could change the pose from time to time.
Bravo! 10,000 subs!
I built the original Revell 1/72 Dambuster Lanc back when and it was a bear. Most of it was taped together while the glue dried -- and it wasn't Tamiya extra-thin, either.
You're done this kit to suit the fine details and modern materials. Where you've used light gray on the undersurfacesI I think I would have used a light earth to reflect the dirt and mud blown back along the airframe while taxiing and taking off.
In any event I agree that these aircraft weren't heavily used before their intended raid for good reason. I remember film of a Wallis bomb bouncing back up off the ocean and taking off the tail of its carrier B-25. Strange things happen at 50 feet.
Congrats on a nice job highlighting a lovely kit. Hope your Photo Panther is going well. 😅
Cheers Randy. Good point about the brownish dust! Panther starts Friday at 19:30 GMT...!
Nice build Gary, looks great.
Thanks 👍
Wow Gary what a great build! I have also an Airfix Lanc in my staff! Not a dambuster do.
Thanks 👍
Excellent video, I have the Dambuster but I hadn't dared to assemble it yet, but after watching the whole process I have learned a lot, especially the little issues like those pieces with wrong numbers. Again I have to thank you for this magnificent video.
Model kits have different builds this looks a challenging build good for breathing excersises.😂
Good result, Gary. I agree, there’s not much I didn’t like about my build of the Airfix Dambuster. I used an Eduard interior PE kit, but the only thing that can be seen is the flight engineer’s panel . And only if you squint. I enjoyed my build so much that I immediately bought the HK 1:48 standard Lancaster because I’ve never built one that wasn’t 617SQN. Great looking aircraft.
Very nice John - glad you've got the space for a 1:48 Lancaster, I'm very jealous!
@@garys_stuff What an outrageous claim! I certainly don’t have the room... I’m building a Vulcan now, I’ve bought the Valiant after watching your wonderful video and I won an Australian 48 in 48 auction last year and bought Dave Goldfinch’s Victor kit. Nowhere to put any of them, but none of us are guaranteed to see our next Friday. Kind regards.
Hi Gary, Your lancaster looks fantastic, mate. I wonder if airfix will ever re tool it after all these years, be great if they did. Cheers Gary 🇬🇧.
This one comes from a new tool in 2013 so probably not up for a replacement for another decade or so! What they DO need to do is do a new Halifax and Hampden. I would have added the Stirling but Italeri beat them to it!
@garys_stuff
The same result after I begged Tamiya to release an amphibious DUKW in 1/35. -- Italeri has since released at least a half-dozen.
Another great build! Also bet it looks lovely next to the Stirling
3 words for you Mr Gary10k --- Chipmunk 🐿️ Chipmunk 🐿️ Chipmunk 🐿️😁☕🐢
She looks grand, Gary! It's a lovely kit, and well engineered where needed...though I remember a couple of places were a bit 'tricky' - undercarriage - as you mentioned, but then, most undercarriage on aircraft is tricky!! 😝
Great job though; you got a lovely finish to a lovely old warbird! 👍
Lovely work Gary. I caught myself holding my breath as you fiddled with the undercarriage and bomb. 😅 All in, a wonderful kit, waiting for the one of Gibson’s aircraft. For weathering powders I use artist’s pastel chalks (don’t get the waxy type) available from most art shops - there are many colours and shades. Just rub the chalks against some sandpaper to make little piles of the powder. And the chalks last a long time.
Another lovely build, Gary. I recall making a Dambusters’ Lanc many years ago. I love the way you can say “I cocked this up and had to do it again…”; not many TH-cam modellers will do that which leaves viewers with the impression that absolutely everything goes super smoothly! Your approach is much more realistic.
Question: is the channel’s Facebook page operating? I checked on Gary’s Stuff and the posts seem quite old.
Hi Chris - try looking for the group Gary's Friends Stuff - that's more vibrant than my own page at the moment!
Bravo Gary. Your build will help me immensely. I hope to have mine done before May 17, 2023. Always amazed at how quickly you're able to finish up your projects. Mine take a little longer and I have to keep the MoJo going.
Great review and build, nice to see how well,this kit goes together. Cheers.
I have the 2009 tooling with raised panel lines yours looks awesome 👌
Very nice build Gary! Thanks for sharing. 😎🇨🇦
Looks really good, I ti had bit a problem with vallejo gloss!
Your builds just get better and better, you will soon be up with top modelers.
Don't know about that, Jim, but many thanks! I'm just not happy using polyurethane products in my modelling, don't know why!
@garys_stuff
You use what works, Gary -- that's all part of learning. I've had good results with Pledge Future self-levelling floor polish, and it can be dulled with Tamiya flattening agent. I've never had it come back to bite me. Polyurethane can be very hot -- it's great for polycarbonate bodies because it bites right in.
I must say I'm impressed how fast you complete all these models. Last time I built something of similar size (a P2V Neptune), it literally took me months to finish it. I always encounter some conundrum to solve and the work just stops for days. With Neptune, it was propellers. The blades were separate from the hub and I had to build a jig from cardboard to align them properly, pitch and all.
It's my full-time job so finding the time is that bit easier!
Great build Gary - looks wonderful, i hope my build turns out half as good 😂🎉
Hi Gary I’ve built this kit and I know how difficult it can be to build at some stages but you’ve made a stunning example of it as usual..
Are you going to do the 1:48 scale dambuster tamiya kit?
Really nice build Gary.👍 Well done.
Hi Gary. What one would you go for.
The Airfix dambusters version or the Revell dambusters version? Revell is cheaper, but is is as good.
Well I've never made the Revell version so I can't give an opinion. I will say the Airfix one was good to make and really didn't present too many issues, I'd be happy to make another one.
Great Videos really enjoy watching them. Can I just ask what masking tape do you use?
I use Frog Tape, the one for delicate surfaces.
Great videos.
I keep looking at the Lancaster I'm 1/72 to try. I've done a couple of 1/72 spitfire and hurricane so a beginner really, so is the Lancaster best left for the experienced builder?
Also, have you found that sometimes you get a glossy finish even when using matte Cote or have I done something wrong.
What's your preference, revell or airfix for more beginners
Thanks
Keep up the channel
Hi Graham, if you're happy with the Spitfires and Hurricane you've made already the the Lancaster will be OK, but remember it's a step up in size and complexity. You could try something with a bit more interior detail but not as big as the Lancaster - say a Mosquito or a Beaufort.
The results you get with matte finishes will depend on what you are using and how you put it on. Some bits (like decals) often need a bit more than other parts of the kit because they are naturally more gloss to begin with.
If you are mainly interested in WW2 aircraft then I'd go with Airfix over Revell for beginners, but that really is a personal preference as they make far more things I'm interested in making!
Always thought all 4 engine tops were dark earth?
You may be right - I’ll look into it,
Nice job Gary 😊
Just wondering what make of paint you used.
Geoff.
Most of the time it's Vallejo Model Air
just a question of historical accuracy: is the Elsan includet?
On this kit no I don't believe so - the interior detail doesn't go far enough back in the cabin!
Hi, great video- what is the spray gun you use. .? Thanks
I use Gaahleri airbrushes these days, currently a Swallowtail for wide area work and a GHAD-98D for detail, but I've just got the two new Mobius airbrushes from their range and will review them very soon!
Ive just ordered the 1/48 scale air arin hellcat mk2 british fleet and how long did it take you to mask all of the windows ?
Took about half an hour, maybe three quarters.
@@garys_stuff thats cool i like big builds and adding detail using reference pictures as some things dont come with the kits some times
🐶🙂👌👍👋🏻
There are superfluous parts in the kit. I presume this is so a good modeller could make a standard B111 rather than the B111 'special'. ? But the instuctions say nothing of this.
Yes indeed, the way of kits these days from many makers is to have frames with many variants but instructions for only one (and decals to match). Much cheaper than redesigning many frames. The Airfix Hurricane 1/48 is a good example, you can make the 'regular' Hurricane, the tropical Hurricane or the Sea Hurricane from the same box.
@@garys_stuff Thanks for the advisory. You're models look great!
