RE: ASM Lancaster?
Much earlier in this thread some members were asking about the ASM Mosquito, which it seems never actually appeared.
Earlier this year I actually bought one of them, which had been a demonstration model for the ASM distributors here in the UK I believe.
The model was a 'bare' airframe with no equipment, undercarriage etc. and unfortunately no instruction manual either. I suppose if it was a pre-production model then the manual might not actually have been written. I have tried searching for this model on the web but have found no information at all.
There was some fairly minor damage which was probably caused mostly in storage.
I am now about to start work on the model. The wingspan is 80 inches and the construction seems to be the same as the Lancaster, it is probably to about the same scale. I shall be fitting two .70 four stroke engines, the cut outs in the cowls appear to have been made for engines of this size. The engine and undercarriage mounting areas seem a little flimsy so I shall strengthen these. The model has flaps but only outboard of the engines, whereas on the real Mosquito the flaps were actually inboard of the engines as well. I shall probably modify my wing accordingly.
I shall put some photos on here is anyone is interested.
Brian.
