Royal Australian Air Force Avro Lancaster 1/72 Revell

"Q for Queenie VI", Avro Lancaster A66-1 (RAF reg. ED930) around 1946, built from the excellent Revell kit. This project took, umm, about 2 years from the initial research to the taking of these pictures. Perhaps worth the wait, great fun it was anyway.
Oh, about those spinners. I still think it's possible they were light blue or grey, but looking carefully at the Hopton photo there are chrome-style reflections from the ground and sky so I chose pure aluminium in the end. If actual colours are confirmed some day , it's easy to paint those spinners again.
