Yes, you a correct the more the skies are filled with BC aircraft the better the hunting:applause:.

Seriously, making the Mk2 was no big deal. The nacelles had to be enlarged and reshaped a bit, the cowls and other pieces were available from the Halifaxes so I just did what the Brits did.

When you make variants of a base model the work is not that bad. It is making the first model that is the pain in the ..... oh, labour of love :friday:

Whilst converting my fleet of Lancs to ETO standard I tried to find out more about the particular a/c where little information was given with the original skin.

In the case of the 46th Design RCAF skins for the FP MkI/III I found that some should have been applied to MkIIs as a number of the 301 built were supplied to the RCAF particularly 408 squadron between August 1943 to June 1944.

Some of these sources also state that most MkIIs were fitted with the FN64 2 gun ventral turret and bulged bombay doors. Apparently all Mks of Lancs had fittings for the FN64 but few were so fitted. On non bulged Lancs the drag factor of the turret plus its extra weight and that of the additional gunner led to it's non fitment. Aiming through the periscope sight was extremely difficult whilst few gunners could use it without becoming air sick.

The H2s radar dome used the ventral turret aperture.

A later more useful development had the interesting code name of 'Village Inn'. This was a radar-aimed rear gun turret fitted to some Lancasters in 1944:
