Hi,

After years of peaceful rest the Lancaster was savaged by a careless child with a webcam. :shock: :sad:

How are the mighty fallen :crying:

Hi,

Thanks for the sympathy guys. Restoration is planned but due to its age I expect other bits to fall off in the process

As to a restore to flying condition, the last time one of my kits flew was when I was about 12 when, stuffed with paraffing soaked tissue, it was lit and flown from the bathroom window :shock: :shock:

I was young and reckless then, now just reckless .

Degsy, you are not alone, when I was around that age I tried the very same thing but with paint thinners, at the side of our house I was going to just burn a bit of the wing and engine to give that realistic crash landing look for my display when not only the whole aircraft (Lancaster) caught fire but so did the bl**dy fence!! :shock: Don't know to this day why I didn't just use a match on the plastic to do it instead!!

After frantically running in and out of the house with a bucket of water managed to put it out, can never understand why my parents never asked about the scorch marks!!!!!
