After a loooooooooooooong break we are back on the Lancaster.
Completed the first wing box today, once it has dried i can join the wings together and make the second box, then we can fit the wings to the fuselage.

Not done much to this of late. 
I have covered the rudders and elevators over the last couple of days and today i painted the tops of the elevators.
need some matt black for the undersides and rudders.
hope to cover the whole tailplane and paint that over the weekend.
then we can cover and paint the rear half of the fuselage.

despite my bad hands today i did a little bit more painting.
just to prove it is me doing the work and not elves
Painted the first coat of black and done the second coat of camo.
white gaps are where the markings go.
Then some plastic cutting later we have a bit more done.
one more coat of black and we can pencil in the panel lines and finally seal with 3 coats of polyc.
i can move onto the rear of the fuselage next then.

2nd coat of black is now done.
panel lines are the next job and then we can seal it all and forget it for a while.

Took ages to get the tail to fit again as the covering had made it a tight fit, but it fits now.
Started slopping some paint on the tail end of the fuselage as well (another loooooong job)
need to make the top turret gun and paint the gun canopy, then its back to the wings i think.
