Border Model's 1/32 Lancaster Build - part 6

In episode 6, I finish building the turrets and detailing the aircraft.

Excellent build Geoff. The lighting and prop start up is fantastic.

This is a beautiful model Geoff, worthy of your name the detail guy. I'd love to see it in half light to show up the interior detail in your ramp scenario. The props spin in reverse to the pitch of the blades, but that hardly matters once they have spun up. You should be proud of your accomplishment. Cheers from an Aussie.

Great job mate !

Beautiful sir! Did you hide the motors of scale model magic inside the engines or are they further back inside the wings?

[@boeleboele2380]

Greet job👍🤩

sorry to be critical because it's a beautiful airplane to be sure. But did you note the props were turning backwards? They were pushing air forward, not to the rear. Perhaps it is just a trick of the camera.

I know,.. it's the only big error I made in this build. I wish I could change it but now all the plugs are forever sealed inside the fuselage. Most people won't notice, so I can live with that.

[@potrzebieneuman4702]

Just as an interesting aside, British aircraft engaged on sorties rather than missions which I think is an American term. No criticism, just an interesting fact.

Why are the props going in reverse ?

[@Peter.w]

Prop rotation is backward, have you got the power supply wired up backwards? Merlins always rotate to the right

[@geoffchrysler]

Yup, I know... it's a mistake I'll have to live with.

[@Peter.w]

Can you not just reverse the power connection​@@geoffchrysler

[@geoffchrysler]

@@Peter.w no - the electronic circuit board can only be powered one way. It's the feeds to the motors that are plugged into it backwards and those plugs are permanently sealed inside

[@Peter.w]

@@geoffchrysler thats too bad.. still a great job on her though
