    I was going to try to save time and use the old lancaster maps but those were done poorly (when I was just a young pup). So it is coming along.

    Would be a nice target for a ME-110 night fighter.

    Be sure she has exterior glass in all the right places, unlike most of our Lancs!

    Hi Ted,

    Appreciate you're more than capable!

    But are you doing a VC for it? If not or want less work...I've got all Ed Cook's Manachester stuff when I revamped it etc, which if you want a ready VC, just need bringing into GMAX and animating etc, if you would like it?

    Cheers

    The pit we have it pretty good right now. I'll tighten it up a little.

    Weather has been a distraction as has been the nearing of the end of the semester...

    So does that mean you are going to tart up the Lancasters as well??

    Been reading up on this bomber and it was pretty much a failure in its mission.Soon replaced by the Lancaster. Still,it would be interesting in TOW.

    Yeah the engines were the downfall of the Manchester, but the basic design was solid, and was the basis for the Lancaster. As far as I know, there wasn't a single successful coupled V-12 powered design. The Germans tried it with the He 177, which had similar issues. There were a decent amount of Manchesters in action, glad to see Ted bringing this one to life!
