looks great to me, nice build
Fantastic is the only word I think think of to describe this model and the job you did on building it. I’m curious. What’s the wingspan?
What a great addition to a collection display. Not many builders have this one on display. Good looking model.
As a long time vacumform (VF) model builder familiar with the quality of Sanger kits you are to be commended for an excellant finished product. Well done. I hope you will see fit to build a few more VFs. I am certain from my experience that any other VF company kits will be easier than the one you have just finished.
I am curious about the color scheme. Most of the information I have on the Lincoln shows a white over black or a bare metal scheme. I am unaware of any Lincoln’s that were operational during WWII in the scheme you have on the model. However, Iam always open to being educated.

Nice Ian… Very nice indeed. I am intimidated by vac kits… you obviouly are not.
Outstanding, Ian!
I am impressed!
Very nice build especially for a VAC kit.
Nice work but…Criminy! That thing must be huge! What is the wingspan on that bird?
The is a good photo of the colour scheme here http://www.aviation-history.com/avro/lincoln-1.htm
Hello GKING86 and RANGER25EVEN,
The wingspan on the linc’ is-29.5" and the length is 20", compared to the tamiya lanc’ which is - wingspan 25" and the length is 17" she looks evil [}:)] against the lanc’, glad you both like her … ian.
hello MATS.MAN,
there were many units which had the cameo’ scheme on them for example - telecommunications flying unit at RAF defford, n’7 squadron RAF oakington, n’617 squadron RAF scampton, n’9 squadron RAF binbrook, argentine airforce,
hope this enlightns you richard a bit thanks ian.
OUTSTANDING !

Oh geeze…
Looking at your (AWESOME) model, I’m almost inspired to check back into a model that I’d like to do. There were plans for a British superbomber, basically a Lincoln with 10 engines. Seeing this model have given me the itch…
Very nice work. Was this the one I noticed over on the ARC forums, perhaps? (You don’t see too many vac 1/48 Lincolns, that’s why I ask.)
Very, very nice!!![^]
hello Lucien Harpress, yes those are my pic’s on the arc forums, god i once saw that 10 engined bomber in 1/48 bbbbbiiiiiiiiigggggg… thanks you like the linc’…ian.
