I'm building this kit at the moment, and I simply couldn't do it properly without your video series to help guide and instruct me. I'm exceedingly grateful.
Thanks mikeyt3516, glad you're finding it useful. I always wanted to do a video that shows techniques and tips rather than just watching a model being assembled to music. It's a great kit, I'm a big fan of HKM after completing it, I've got the B-17s and the B-25 in 48 scale to do but need to clear my current projects first 👍
Beautiful!
Thanks Ben
I've been scale model building for over 50 years and I'm still learning , your weathering technique is excellent and will help me out a lot. Thank you.
Thanks Dan, glad you enjoyed it.👍
Brilliant. Simply brilliant. Beautiful work, Sir.
Thank you Manuel, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Fantastic as a kid when i lived in London i used to visit the real S for sugar Lancaster at hendon air museum.
I'd love to go back to London and see it as an adult, as it is my favourite aircraft.
It's on my 'to do' list to go and visit her again, such a great place to spend time and plenty of inspiration 👍
Wow! A year in the making and it was worth it! Thank you Sir.
Thanks, got there in the end. Moving house and changing job, life getting in the way but back on track now!
Also thanks to those who commented on the original release this morning, unfortunately I'm unable to reply to them due to taking down that version of the video down shortly after it was released (sound issue). Apologies for that but they are very much appreciated, thank you!
Absolutely amazing job, well done.
Thanks Martin, glad you liked it 👍
Hi from Lanark. I just bought one of these kits. Apart from the fact that your work is outstanding the video series is invaluable as a live pictoral step by step reference. Many thanks and I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with the next build. Some Italian flair no doubt!
Hi Gordon, thanks for your kind comments. Glad you enjoyed the video build, more as coming but I find myself very busy at this time of year so hopefully I can get another build onto the channel soon. Definitely get the Folgore up, it's currently waiting on its camouflage to be applied 😉👍
Thanks again!
Looks ok?? Its simply gorgeous!!
Thank you very much!
Greetings my friend, the Lancaster looks absolutely outstanding, you have done a perfect job, I found the wzy you filmed up close it made it look a lot larger , it certainly is a big bird at this scale, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Les, she's turned out well. Few issues along the way and unfortunately life took over a bit for me last year but settled down now so looking forward to getting more up on the channel. But glad she's done and looks good on the display shelf, even if she's taking up most of the room now 👍
Stunning… this is next level modelling…
Thanks Mannling1, comments like yours make it all worthwhile 😁👍
A really enjoyable watch. Lots of great techniques filmed well to produce a magnificent end result.
Thanks very much.
Cheers Martin, glad you enjoyed the build. She's turned out well, thanks 👍
Enjoyed it very much. I hope there are more to come because aside from the quality of the build, your videos are really well produced. Easily in my top three modelling channels to watch alongside Greg’s Models and Steve’s Model Shed. No waffle, lots of tips and tricks and a great result.
@@martinwalton2850 I'm humbled to be included among other modellers that I myself look up to. Thank you 😁👍
As others have said a most valuable video for us to pick up tips. 10/10 on the build it is phenomenal
Thanks Jason, glad you found it useful. It turned out ok in the end 👍
Absolutely fantastic you have done justice to the black undersides.the paintwork on the uppers as well .One thing I'd like to mention is the exhaust staining looks a little bit regimented and the soot usually impacted the outer third of the horizontal tail so a light dusting of black on a high mileage aircraft would be applicable on the tail and both sides of the vertical
tail. You have captured the exhaust staining at the intersection of the nacelle and wing perfectly. A job in the upper stratosphere of modelling.
Thanks, I agree that the top stains are a little too perfect, I'd probably do it differently now looking back 🤔
Thanks for your kind comments, much appreciated! 👍
Simply stunning. Well worth the wait. 👌🏼
Thanks John, got there in the end 😂👍
Would never have thought about using dark blue for post shading black , great idea , will be using this technique on my future builds .
Dark blue, dark green and greys all work well. Just breaks up the black a bit more, I also try and avoid pure black as it looks too stark to me in scale models better to use a NATO or rubber black. 👍
An incredibly detailed and amazing series....a pleasure to watch every second of this build and a flawless final reveal to boot. Great techniques and tips shared so many thanks for that.
Thanks Robbo, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Thank you very much for producing such an informative video. End result is superb.
Thanks very much, glad you liked it. It's a nice kit to build, I'd recommend it 😁👍
Absoulutley Beautiful !!!!!! what a job lad !! All the Best Shaun. My god man thats just a work of art right there !!!!!
Thank you Shaun 👍
Many thanks for this, the techniques are properly and clearly explained - something many other sources tend to skip over, as if already known to the viewer/reader. A superb result, which I shall try to emulate 👍
Cheers Ian, much appreciated 👍
What to say ! SPLENDIFIC build worth taking the trouble ! Thanks very much. I wish Airfix produced a Short Stirling at this scale and of this quality.
Thanks George, certainly a subject that's lacking representation in 48 scale. Same for the Halifax and Manchester but we can always stay hopefully 🤞
Thank you very much for sharing these videos. Your skill and techniques have already helped me enormously. I just tried the mottling technique on the inside of my models airframe. I'm delighted with the effect. Cant wait to apply some of your other techniques. Once again thank you very much.
No worries, glad you're getting some useful tips out of the videos. Always encouraging to get comments like yours, much appreciated. Thank you 👍
Been following this build, and it has been a pleasure. Learnt a lot of new things which i intend to use on my 1/32 Lancaster. Looking forward to the next build.
Thanks Garry, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Really cool.
Thanks 👍
Absolute work of art. Bravo sir. Definitely going on my shopping list!
Thanks Aaron, it's a great kit to build plus a lot of aftermarket available for it now too. Tho I'd hold of detailing the interior as you can't really see that much! 😁👍
Worth the wait...Beautiful build...Loads I've learned on this 4 part series build...Really good...and high quality video editing too...Thanks Sprue for uploading this masterpiece...As I've said before...the definitive build vid series of the 'HK Models 1/48 Avro Lancaster' in my book...I haven't started mine yet as I'm still skill and tricks gathering...I got the Revell 1/72 Avro Lanc which I've just completed (in order to gather info for the 1/48 build to come) and will upload a vid on that one soon...Again big thanks...Lew
Cheers Lew, took a backseat for a while but hopefully back on track now. Looking forward to your lanc build, your Hurricane looks fantastic btw, very nicely weathered and always love the trop scheme. Top work bud! 👍👍
@@spruehunter Thanks Sprue...Still learning all the time
@@spruehunter Just uploaded my 1/72 Lanc build...altho no pics until I got the fuselage halves together as I got carried away and forgot to take pics...Dang!...but the pre-shading and stuff is there anyways...
Great work! Blown away by the skill level.
Thanks tangleha 👍
Nice one outstanding build....👌
Thanks Alan 👍
Incredible work! Bout to start my 1/48 Tamiya. I bought it 6mths ago because of your videos of the Lancaster! I sure as shit know it ain’t gunna end up like yours but it’ll be fun. Well worth the wait for part 4. Looking forward to your next build.
Thank Kurt, enjoy your build 👍
Awesome work mate. I have completed this kit and it hangs on my office wall and I just looked at it and thought it’s going to get the exhaust lines on the wings and try what you did.
Thanks Allan in North Queensland 🏝️🐊
Thanks Allan, just adds a bit of interest and is more like the real thing. Glad you liked it 👍
BRILLIANT
Thanks 👍
My best mate wants me to build this kit next, so I guess this will be my Christmas present to myself. I'm glad that I found your channel. It has given me plenty of ideas on how to proceed and taught me plenty of new tricks and skills. Thank you.
😊😊😊❤❤❤😊😊😊
Your welcome Mark, glad you found the videos useful. It's a nice kit, really has a presence in the collection, I'm sure you'll enjoy building it. Just make sure the bomb-bay/cockpit floor is securely glued in place when you close up the fuselage, mine popped loose at some point but thankfully managed to sort out the issue, apart from that and the fact I masked the rear turret wrong. You need to paint the rear black rather than mask as I did but have since sorted once someone mentioned it 🤦😂
Enjoy the build and thanks for commenting 👍
@spruehunter You're very welcome. I'm glad that I watched all four videos again. It's made me realise that I haven't yet bought all the paints and weathering stuff that I'm going to need. Ah well, I do enjoy shopping for gear at the best of times. Abteilung and a new set of PLW's are next months purchases. The thing that annoyed me is that the kit makes no mention of transparent red, green and orange for the IFF lights. I'm wondering if Ammo Crystal Red and Crystal Green will work, leaving me with just transparent orange to buy?
Excellent demonstration on the use of oils for exhaust stains. Particularly interesting is the chosen broad convex curved edge brush type... Aside the beautiful result, the video is worth watching for the oil paint staining demo alone...
Thank you, glad you liked it 😁👍
excelente!
Gracias Cesar! 👍
Vry Nice looking aircraft there !
Thank you Julian 👍
Hi buddy your lancaster looks awesome one of the best lancs i have seen. I've just subscribed mate cheers Gary 🇬🇧.
Cheers Gary 😁👍
Well done mate. Will you release a final review of the kit? Any advice on things you would do differently?
I might have a go at putting something like that together, like every kit it's got its pros and cons but I'd recommend it to anyone 👍
Check with someone but I believe the rear of the tail gun turret is no glass so it should be painted black . The tail gunner could rotate the turret 90 degrees open the doors and fall out into the night sky . Love the weathing
You're absolutely right Chris, it was pointed out by someone else so I'll have to give it a touch up the next time I've got paint in the airbrush 😁👍
Very nice just a point as I notice the rear panels of the FN rear turret on your model are clear. Having been inside one of these turrets it is made of aluminium and has a pair of doors.
Very good spot! Your quite correct, I can't remember if the kit instructions or the mask set had you covering those parts, I'll need to check up on that one 🤔
Thanks for pointing that out, I'll need to get it masked and sprayed the next time I've got NATO black in the airbrush. 😁👍
Have a look at the flight test video of the Prototype 1300mm Lancaster 3d printed scale model designed by 3daeroworks ,tested by myself last week
I'm struggling to find it, could you send me a link? Had a look on the 3D Areoworks website but couldn't see a Lancaster in their range, very interested in finding out more.
Thanks 👍

Looks great! My only experience of flying rc was a foam Spitfire and crashing a hobby zone carbon cub 🙈😂👍
Great build, couple of questions, did you put a clear coat down before you put on the decals? And did you do a wash or are the panel lines deep enough they give defintion without needing it?
Thanks Dunc, glad you liked it. No clear coat before decals, just polished the area to get a smooth surface to avoid any silvering. I used Flory's clay wash for the panel lines and rivet detail, both are covered in parts 2 and 3 of the video build in painting and then weathering the model.
Cheers

Can you please advise if the sealing matt varnish was enamel or acrylic? Many thanks and a great build.
Matt varnish was Tamiya XF-86 Flat Clear thinned with Self Levelling Thinner in about a 60/40 ratio paint/varnish to thinner. It's technically an acrylic but more of a hybrid alcohol as can be thinned with acrylic or lacquer thinner. The only enamel I use these days is AK Extreme Metals but didn't use them on this build, so everything you see is acrylic or lacquer based. Hope that helps you out, thanks for your question. 👍
Hi great series and will be indispensable viewing when I start my Lanc. Just one question- when you use the airbrush on the priming and camouflage what size airbrush needle do you use and what pressure are you using?
Thanks Robin, I use an H&S Cr Plus with a 0.2mm needle, pressure wise I don't have a clue to be honest. I do my pressure by what it sounds like, what I mean is I thin the paint then add to the airbrush. If it's struggling I usually thin it a bit more thinners or up the pressure slightly, if I had to guess it's probably around 15psi? I'd rather thin the paint and get close than blasting paint through the airbrush and most of the paint is airborne and not on the model. Hope that helps, glad you like the videos and thanks for your question 👍
@@spruehunter thanks. I’m a bit of a Newbie to airbrushing but so much better than when I a used to paint by hand back in the day
It's certainly a game changer! I've only been airbrushing for the last couple of years after coming back to the hobby. Things have moved on massively, for the better. Once you get your head around it it's very enjoyable, there's a ton of videos on airbrushing on UA-cam, Phil Flory's ones are a good start 👍
I might have missed it but what spray equipment are you using??
Hi Mannling1, I use a Harder & Steenbeck Evolution CRPLUS 0.2 airbrush with a Sparmax compressor and a Sparmax airbooth, however I have recently changed to a Bench Vent 300 spray booth which is an amazing bit of kit. Hope that helps!
Thanks 👍
how does this kit compare with the Border one?
Good question ekspatriat, to be fair I've only built the HK kit, I've seen videos/photos of the Border kit and also watched a few reviews which have a mixed opinion on both kits.
To compare the two kits the only thing in common is that they are models of the same subject, the Avro Lancaster.
I suppose it depends what you want out of a model, the Border looks amazing with its detail (stressed skin effect, interior, engines) but it was originally a Wingnut Wings design so no surprises there. However it's let down by poorly moulded clear parts and some have even received their kits with damaged clear sprues in the box. The box the kit is issued in isn't really big enough to contain all the kit sprues adequately, so damaged parts more likely. I've heard also the instructions are a wrong in places.
They are different scales so if you have the space then that's not really an issue but the HK 1/48 takes up a fair amount of room as it is...
Time taken to complete, the HK is a basic kit, gives you everything you need. Maybe not as accurate as it could be but an enjoyable build. Border will take a fair amount of time as there's so many detailed parts to clean up, paint and weather etc.
Lastly there's the price, the border kit is 5x the price....
So really it depends what you want, for me the Border kit is amazing but too big, too expensive and would take too much time for me to own one. The HK Models kit ticks all the boxes for me and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to do a Lanc, I'd say it's better than the 1/72 offerings and better exterior surface detail than Tamiyas 1/48 Lancaster especially as it's recessed details.
Hope that helps! Thanks for your question, it was interesting to think about the pros and cons of each kit.👍
What price would you put on that model once finished?
Hi Kaegis, depends on what you mean? It's probably priceless to me as it's the only model I've built for UA-cam so a lot of sentimental value but if I was commissioned to build and paint another one to sell I really don't know, I would need to workout how many hours it would take, cost of the kit plus paint and glue etc. I've done commissions in the past but nothing this big so I would have to negotiate with the customer to come to a price we are both happy with.
Thanks for your question, hope you enjoyed the build! 👍
Ghost seams : look at close ups of the real deal and realise that panels hardly ever fitted seamlessly.
I know, I've got reference photos of wonky rivet lines and gaps. These machines being built for war weren't always finished the best but had it where it counts. Only had to deal with seam lines where there wouldn't have been any on the real thing, thought I'd show how to deal with them reappearing so that others might benefit. Plus if I'd left seams all over it then it wouldn't look right as a scale model and there would be even more people critiquing the end result 😂👍
