The Cyprus LANCASTER was created by THE BLACKBIRD
Here's the engine's i shall be using for the Lanc, 4 ASP 52 fs's with bendy pipes on the exhaust's, i cant see the point in building to scale and having a great silencer sticking out the side.

I like that engine test stand Tony - home made or commercial??? And I agree with you on the silencer bit - I've used heaps of pipe, tin, brass, solder and burnt fingers making up something that looks a bit scale for my models.

A very nice piece of carpentry.

Will those turrets move?
It would only need 6 extra channels to give independent traverse and elevation on each!
