HKM 1/32 Lancaster P4 U....153 Squadron RAF Scampton

Gentlemen,after what seems an absolute age,I am finally going to try and post some WIP shots of a project I'm doing in tribute to a cousin of my Dad,and his crew.

  My dads cousin was a gent by the name of Wifred James Baulk. He was Flight Sergeant,at the time.


(This was taken at the Air Museum in Elvington near York) 
He was a rear gunner on a Lancaster having been turned down initially for pilot training. He completed,I believe,14 missions with this same crew,except for the odd sick day amongst the crew.
  They were posted to RAF Scampton in October of 1944,as a crew,and Wilfred was taken off Ops in January 1945 to do Officer/Pilot training.He survived the War,and some of his personal effects are on display at the Museum,including his private pilots log. One thing I saw on display that intrigued me at the time,was a Stilletto dagger,with 6 names engraved on it.(More on that later) 

As some of you may have seen,I purchased the HKM 1/32 Lanc a little while back,and to build this tribute,I won't be using the full see through fuselage the kit comes with.
  I did however fork out for the Eduard coloured etch cockpit set,and the seat belts and pre cut masks. Also to be added,are some really nice brass .303 barrels to add to the gun turrets.
