- Wow, this was a fun but challenging project. I'm going to be sad to see it go. But it was a blast to get to build the new Airfix Lancaster. The decals are from Kits-World.

Excellent build. My father was a Lancaster mid upper gunner and flew 10 sorties initially with an RAF squadron but later with the RCAF as well. I have bought this kit in his memory and your video is going to help me complete it. Many Canadians served as aircrew in the British airforce during WW2.
Cool
I have built an homage to a man I worked for as a teen. He was a gunner in a Halifax. I just finished an Avro Arrow for another man's son.
My dad flew as a wireless operator/air gunner in RAF Halifax’s during WWII. Later worked in Air Traffic Control in the RCAF.
Wow so cool
My grandfather was a gunner on a Lancaster - out of a crew of seven, there was one Canadian, one Australian, one Jamaican, one Welshman, one Scotsman and two Englishmen.
My father flew 15 missions in 1945 from Waterbeach near Cambridge as a Lancaster pilot with 514 Squadron. I have his logbooks and this model renews my pride. Ironically enough I married a German and live in the only town - Solingen - that 514 bombed twice, while my daughter was born in Essen, which 514 also visited. Makes you think a bit, but what a magnificent machine and amazing respect for the unrecognised courage of the men who flew them, knowing they only had a 30% chance of completing a tour of 30 trips.
Brings back memories. My father and I made an Airfix Lancaster together more than 60 years ago. Ace work!
My father during WW2 flew in training missions across Canada with the RAF in the Lancaster. The plane has a great history.Nice video!
Thanks your dad for serving
So did my dad! He was a navigator. A lot of them died in training. He flew in Liberators too.
Lovely touch using that aircrew recording on the “reveal” run.....completed a brilliant build in a fabulous way! Average Lancaster lifespan was 40 hours (5 Ops)......The Lanc was a great Bomber but a bastard to escape from.....11% chance of getting out of one, if it got shot up badly.....😳
WOW! The detail in 1:72 Airfix kits have come a long way since I did mine in the 1970's. Awesome!
Greatest effort probably were using CAD and CAM designing. Using these were a great leap in all the industry and production.
And the price... I wonder what the total cost is including paint etc? As a retiree I can only watch videos of these awesome builds.
Looking at all those parts as an 8-10 year old was overwhelming! I got a model of the USS United States & we ,mostly Dad, built it.
IT WAS COOL but I still don't know what Davits are & a host of other nautical terms!Dad did most of the building, but I was happy to be a part of the project & help Dad!
Dad was a decorated WW2 veteran who fought in the battle of the bulge in WW2 & models calmed him & fascinated me & bonded us forever!
Davits are the things that help lifeboats lower into the water.
The most common davit these days is the 'Gravity' Davit.
As a kid I could never wait for the paint to dry!
I had that problem as a kid as well, and I still do as an adult.
Same
I am stil a kid i am building a thundermug right now
That’s why I got quickdry paint

Great. So much detail in the making of this magnificent aircraft. Craftmanship.
Beautiful model, I built an Airfix Lancaster as my first model kit in the late 80s with my Grandad! I loved the recordings at the end especially the bit where the one guy calmly announces 'I think they are firing at us'. No matter what is said about the strategic bombing campaigns, the men who flew them were heroic! I'm not sure I could have done that over and over gain...
I worked with a chap who was a flight engineer on a Lanc. Got through the war unscathed, don't know how many sorties he would have done. Iconic aircraft, and a great build young man...
Great build, A fitting tribute to the total 364,514 operational sorties were flown, 1,030,500 tons of bombs were dropped and 8,325 aircraft lost in action. Of course, these were not all flown by Lancasters. Bomber Command crews also suffered a high casualty rate: 55,573 were killed out of a total of 125,000 aircrew, a 44.4% death rate. A further 8,403 men were wounded in action, and 9,838 became prisoners of war.
Great job on the Lancaster. Always been a favorite of mine. Also, nice touch on the cockpit to bomber audio clip at the end. :)
Beautifully finished model.
This was my late father's aircraft. He and his crew left her after surviving 36 ops. She was handed over to a new crew. They set off on a fighter evasion exercise. The Lancaster zigged and the Hurricane zagged and everyone on both aircraft was killed.
That's so sad. Luck seems to be the main reason anyone survived WW2 honestly. My grandad was entered into the RAF but he was too poorly sighted to be a fighter pilot/pilot generally so he ended up being a navigator. If he was maybe a few years older he'd have been bomber crew but ended up serving in the aftermath of WW2 in the middle/far east. Quite convievably the fact that he was a bit too young and didnt have perfect vision saved his life.
The Audio at the end made it surreal. Respect to all soldiers of all nations. May we never have to go to war again.
Great job ! The result is fantastic, the mythic "Lanc" is well represented with this kit, well done !
Thank you for that comment :D
Ohhhhhhh, the fond recall of a small boy for Airfix's 1:72nd scale kits of this, the Handley-Page Halifax, the Short Sunderland--I loved the small tractor towing the train of laden bomb carts!--the Vickers Wellington, and others.
I know what you mean, some of the best kits were those older Airfix kits back when I was younger. I still have my older Lancaster, I'm slowly in the process of restoring it as I didn't do the best job on it back in the day as I was moving out at the time.
Beautifully built Lancaster, well done!
Cookies away!!! Great build, thanks for sharing and providing the audio at the end.
Try find 'Audio from the past ww2 Avro Lancaster crew radio' (that's the name of the upload I think) here on yt. Awesome stuff.
Imagine the crews relief with the announcement "Bombs away."
@@paulreed6822 They all sound so calm, but I bet they weren't!
Brilliant build and video record of it.
Looks a very nice kit.
Love the historic voice recording as well.
My uncle Fred was a rear gunner on a Lanc and did 27 ops
My Dad was too.
Wow, the most dangerous place to be in a bomber.
@@flashy5150 the ball turret under the bomber is greatly exposed to flak guns tho
Monty
I too had a great uncle Fred , he was a rear gunner on a Lancaster too
Risky as you will know ...but brave men ...all
There's an old saying here at this country where I am in: '' the place where a guitar is more desirable to be, is at its player's hands ... '' So are the models on my point of view. 1000 thanks for the vídeo. For the lessons in it. And for the fantastic music, wich by the way wraps all this quite well. Good taste in everything... Congratulations...
Magnifique ..Merci pour le réalisme de ce fameux avion que pilotait un ami de ma famille à là R.A.F..Salut
Hubert
Someone needs to say that the music choices for this video were absolutely appropriate and very enjoyable - there I said it!
THAT'S INCREDIBLE !!!!! CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!!
Beautiful job. And the recording of the Lanc crew at the end... What a generation they were.
Agreed, I'm building one more Lancaster, and I'll use more of their audio for that one as well. Kind of odd how calm they all were.
@@rebelsatcloudnine Its how you stayed focused and more importantly, survived to complete your tour of ops by working as a team.....no place for individuals.
I've watched this video a few times. It was the inspiration for me to go out and buy this kit. I hadn't made an airfix kit for nearly 40 years. Thank you.
did you get extra modelling tools, kit, paint? I'm thinking of picking up a Lanc and Spitty. Not sure whether to go whole hog and try and do a really good job, or just keep it simple. Haven't built any kits for 25 years.
@RoastLambShanks I just got the basics. Knife, cutting board, some decent brushes glue and paint plus as an afterthought so. E. A friend gave me an airbrush so I taught myself how to airbrush.
Overall its as simple or as complicated as you want to make it.
Snap, 40 years for me too chaps. 👍 got myself a cheap airbrush/compressor and a couple of kits to get my hand in again and just ordered an Italeri Stirling mk1. Chocks away, tally ho chaps 👍👍
Fantastic piece of work. Well thought out and executed.
Just fantastic watching you work at it .....relaxing ....thank you for uploading
Great job! This is one of my favourite aircraft.
Every time this pops up you just have to watch the end bit it never fails with the thrum of those Merlins..
Thank you very much, I'm quite swamped with my projects at the moment, but soon I hope to have another Airfix Lancaster video on the channel here :)
Thanks for all the great info. I’m going to be building the Airfix 1/72 Landcaster dam buster version.
Great build. The detail... stunning. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching and commenting Tony, I appreciate it.
Amazing video. It has inspired me to get a kit and build it with the same attention to detail you have. I tried when I was younger but never had the patients and ended up in a sticky mess.
What a stunning build and video, thank you for sharing
really - big joy - to look at this - and perfect organized and soundtrack fits perfect..
sorry my active english..
I have this kit, or one just like it rather, am definitely rewatching this when i start her... gorgeous job 👏
Great work! Beautiful Lancaster!
That is amazing work and attention to detail!
3 years later and it is still my fav bomber
Love the exhaust smears across the wings. Very nice touch.
Thanks Warren, it was the part of the build I was most looking forward to.
@@rebelsatcloudnine t
A pleasure watching you work!
Thank you very much Ian.
Love the bomb run ending, nicely done.
When you remove the tape after you have painted!
So satisfying and so perfect! Nice job!
Outstanding presentation "Rebelsatcloudnine" and you used a very respectful music. I lost three uncles in WW II, one of them died at the controls of a RCAF Lancaster B X or Mk II in support of the Normandy landings. I truly appreciate the respect and the dignity that you express as you describe your "work of love" in detailing your models and sharing your experience in assembling them.
May Peace be with you, merci encore pour toute les informations que vous avez partages avec la communaute des "modelers", Ciao, L (Maine, USA)
Lovely job enjoyed the audio at the end
I really enjoyed seeing the paint proportions being followed exactly as shown.
He is a bit of a perfectionist. One of the many reason his models stand o7t from the rest.
Excellent work, she turned out fantastic. Great Job as always!
Thanks Stephen, this was a fun kit to build up. I'm on a bit of Lancaster build, not sure why, but I'm just in the mood to keep building a bunch of Lanc's.
Good model, good music, good result. Well done.
Great build , makes a change with no commentary ..seriously looking at getting this kit after watching this the end bit with the crew chatter coupled to the score was excellent.
Turned out very well. Enjoyed watching your build progress. Congrats
Thank you Phillip :)
You have done a fantastic job on this classic aircraft, well done mate.
Truly inspirational video, thanks for sharing.
Was tired after work, and thought I'd just skip through a few interesting sections, but watched the entire video. Great work mate.
This is my favorite model ever. I’m getting one on Christmas! Love the paint.
That is awesome :D I'm sure that you will have fun with this kit.
@@rebelsatcloudnine I have a question. where did you get this kit at?
@@coolkidjeff082 recommend getting it from amazon or the airfix website
@@aviation0197 ok
Found your video because I've just ordered the Airfix Lancaster and by coincidence already ordered the same decal kit.
My great uncle was one of the gunners on Lancaster LM130 when it unfortunately collided with Hurricane PZ740 over Lincolnshire.
Thanks for the video!
That's absolutely fantastic!
'ok i think they are firing at us'..voices at the end almost eerie!,great job on the lanc
So cool! My favorite bomber.
Amazing attention to detail & great job
Superb craftmanship and well-presented video. Many thanks.
Simply stunning!
Assembled one of these when I was a kid. Loved it. Motivated me to watch movies and to see the real thing.
There's a taxiable Lancaster a few hours from where I live and I always wanted to build the Airfix kit, but it was way too expensive for me as a youngster. Later on my Dad surprised me and bought that an older Airfix Lancaster. I built it for this channel years back, and I tore it apart and I'm currently restoring it. I hope to have it as a video later on this summer :D
As a youth, I had built this kit. Also Airfix's kits of the Handley Page "Halifax", the Short "Stirling", and the Vickers "Wellington" RAF bombers.
Great looking Lancaster RAC9! Also, that is a neat technique you used backing the map decal up with foil!
Totally enjoyable to watch, you must have the patience of a Saint! Well presented too! the music sets the scene! Well done!.
Beautiful model, love the music!!!!!!!!
stunning build
Wow !! Incredible beautiful job!
yet another stunning build, inspirational as ever.
Fantastic Lanc. Bravo !
Beautifully built and shown. Done with love. The initial music? Everyone seems to be doing their own slant on that excellent & powerful tune from "Sunshine".
Impressive, brilliant work.
Beautiful job. I freehand the camouflage with a close flow to give a softer edge but I'm used to the airbrush in my job. A lovely piece of work, thanks.
what job is that?
Frances Luck Designer and illustrator. Although I use Photoshop for professional work I still have my old compressor and airbrush from the 1970s and still prefer the feel of real paint flowing.
Wow i love you’re canopy masking - effortless
Great job, like the weathered look on the paint!
Brilliant work, well done!
Beautifully made, beautiful music. My Great Uncle Alf , rear gunner served in one of those. Respect to all who flew in them. ❤
Subscribed.
A fine constructed Lancaster bomber..! ( The audio at the end really makes you wonder what it was like
for those men inside those planes...the droning sound of the engines is quite spectacular)
The authentic radio chatter at the end was a terrific touch.
I think they’re firing on us.
Now that was awesome! Top work looks great 👍
My dad flew the lancaster during the second world war when he was stationed overseas with the R.A.F.. 211 Squadron. I am building a R.C Lancaster in his memory, it has a 4 foot wingspan and hopefully I can fly it with the R.C. . Club I belong too. Your model looks fantastic and great detailing...CHEERS!
Woah, that's an impressive wingspan and a very fitting tribute to your father :D That must be a beautiful sight to see in the air when it's completed.
What a beautiful model!, nice job thanks for sharing...
Magnificent model, and magnificent commentary (airmen dialogue) at the end.
That Was truly outstanding. Great build from start to finish. Masking was tremendous. I hope mine comes out as good as yours.
Thanks for that, just take your time with the kit, and I'm sure your's will look a lot better than mine.
Nice music selection. On point!!
My Dad flew this beauty for the R.A.F When he was stationed in Britain during W.W.2. He was a Wing Commander for the R.C.A.F. 211 SQUADRON. The closest I ever got to flying was a R.C. when I belonged to the Peterborough.Ontario Flying club. I built a R.C OF THE AVRO Lancaster thru blueprints. I had lots of help to build it as it has a 4 foot wingspan. The thing that broke my heart was that my dad died before I had finished it... I love your build as its beautiful;...GRATS AND CHEERS
Thanks for sharing that story, that it really cool that you have a strong connection to the RAF through your Dad. Sorry to hear that he didn't get to see the plane fly. Did it ever get finished?
Beautiful work!
Beautiful model really fantastic building
Lovely simply lovely looking build
well done, quality production.
Du grand art. Chapeau Mr. Great job thanks for it
Wow ,great work ,brilliant!!
Waren im Kaufhaus, der Lancaster Bomber, sollte mein erstes Modell in meinem Leben sein, ich sehe heute noch meinen Vater vor mir stehen mit der Packung in der Hand. Ich entschied mich damals für den BAC Jaguar. Vielen Dank !
Really nice build. I have an old (pre1990) Matchbox Lancaster and Wellington in 1/72.... Your build has inspired me
That is awesome! The older Matchbox are some of my favourite kits, I'm sure that you'll have a fun time building it up :)
Beautiful Lancaster mate 😊🍻👍
Excellent build and video!!!!
My favourite all time kit, built by my Favourite all time modeller.
Perfect.
Ron thank you for that huge compliment, that really made my day, thank you. I'm actually building one more Lancaster as an on and off again project. I hope to have it done before the end of the year.
@@rebelsatcloudnine I prefer the Short Sterling or Sunderland. Much more chunky than the lovely Lanc.
simply wonderful,i was spellbound!
Thanks Terry :)
I have a vintage unstarted kit of this (B.MK 1/111 "George") in a somewhat yellowed box that came from a charity shop and this is inspiring me to get my arse in gear and build it!
Beautiful.... :) Lovely Airfix detail and a well executed build :)
... now I really just need to finish mine... ;)
That would be fantastic to see completed Rob :D Then of course you will have to build a Swedish version ;)
@@rebelsatcloudnine That jhas been my intention for some time, the Swedish version, I mean.. but I'm not quite sure how to go about, doing the jet engine.. Not sure if a resin part has ever been made, or if it's even available.
love this build totally,,fantastic job and nice touch at the end too,,my other favourite bomber is a great kit to build is the mighty memphis belle,,,i luv em all to be honest..all world war 2 birds are awsome especially the different decals that are available,,sets the planes off beautifully ,,keep up the great work,,thx again
