Hello again, this is my second WIP of skins to fit the new version of the Avro Lancaster again using the excellent template by eMeL.

As with the Egyptian aircraft I have previously covered these for the earlier 3d so this WIP will bring things up to date.


These are a small selection of 1024x1024 intended to test schemes and code placement:

Avro Lancaster in the standard Green/Brown night bomber scheme as used by the RAF:




This is a special scheme applied to the Lancaster and Lincoln, it is described as Earth and Brick:




This uses the Earth already in the template by eMeL with something I made up to represent the brick, I have not
seen any actual paint references to the usual BS, FS or RAL paints so presume this was manufactured in Argentina
especially for this scheme. 

If anyone actually has information such as paint chips or actual reference numbers to the scheme could you please post them.


Here thanks to Bison_M we now have a version of the Lancaster to represent the Lincoln, here in the Grey and Black scheme:




I have information in two articles in 'Air Enthusiast Magazine' showing all three schemes above were actually used
on the Lincoln.


Not sure when these will be posted as I need to go through my references and find appropriately coded examples to use
with each scheme and the time to do them.


Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

Very interesting skins Pete - hope you get time to finish them. But know you are always busy on something creative - so please take your time.

They look very good! The Argentine ones had a very nice looking scheme on them... especially the "earth and brick"!

Helolo guys, sorry this has taken a back seat recently but I finally took a little time out today from other projects and blew the dust of this one.

This is B-033 in the usual bomber scheme but now with added codes:



Unusually the Argentine aircraft carried the roundels and codes on the upper and under side of the the same wing rather than on
the opposite wing, a departure from what we normally expect:



B-033 was one of three Lancasters that also adopted the brick scheme as seen on the Lincolns although they reverted back
to the normal scheme after a brief period:



I still have no idea of the exact colours, my reference merely states 'brick brown on the fuselage with brown upper sides'.

Just thought i would post these so you can see the code application, all are in the B series.


Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

Hello guys, there is now a link in the first post to a small collection of these I have been putting together.




There are 1024x1024 coded skins for Lancasters B-033, B-034 and B-042 in the standard scheme and B-033 in the Brick.   

Insignia only 1024x1024 for Lancasters in the two schemes and a Lincoln in the standard grey.


Still WIP so likely to change.


Wishing you all the very best, Pete.
