It's interesting to see you two mention these products, I read about it somewhere and decided I needed all the help I could get so I bought some a month or so ago.

Thanks for the tips.

Your plane is looking great. I am also an avid user of micro set and micro sol. One tip, it sometime takes multiple applications of micro sol to really make the decal look painted on but it will. When you use it the decal may "curl" up a bit but just let it be, it will settle down. Here is an example of a mercury capsule I did you can see the decals follow the contours of the "shingles" on the hull.

I stumbled upon this one: https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/avro-lancaster-asr-iii/
Maybe something for your next project?

Very interesting Johan. I believe that boat used by the RAF was the design of Uffa Fox and evaluated by Andrew Higgins, to which the Higgins A-1 design was a fortified version made for the B-17. Not sure what my next project will be but don't think it will be an airplane. Ha, my next project may very well be building shelfs to go around the upper walls in my office/workshop. I am out of room at the moment.

To be quite honest, I prefer the esthetics of the Lancaster above the ruggedness of the B17.

Every time I look at the Lancaster, (which recently has been often), I see a tough looking old bird very utilitarian in design. I have never really considered any comparison of the two just glad we had the British as allies. At this time, I don't have any desire to model a Lancaster.
