"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.

A lovely model of A66-1, but roundel colours are inaccurate. RAAF aircraft had a white centre to the roundel, not the pale blue of SEAC markings. As the aircraft was repainted in Australia SEAC colours would not have been applied. Simple to fix though, just repaint the pale blue white et voila!
Thank you for the information, the pale blue fin flash should be fixed too, right? Sorry about the wrong colours, I'll try to take new photos with correct markings!
Hmmm... RAAF or SEAC indeed?
