Brilliant, thank you for finding this. I spent hours looking for a clear shot. Back to work...

Puzzle solved! I thought it was related to fuel. Thank you so much!

Don't know about that , Keith.I posted about those stencils in #143
The AH originals said tank no 1 for both tanks and also said 80 octane so I 'fixed' them in my coastal command liveries. I'm assuming the real lancaster had stencils for tanks 1 and 2 on each wing, and maybe tank 3?
The decal sheet only shows no.1 tanks.
Excellent -grabbed it at Just Flight's shop. Thank you.
Would it also be possible, at some point, to improve the texture of the underside of the canopy sunshade? At the moment, it is an almost featureless black - could it be redone to maybe match the top ? Sounds like a small thing, but the sunshade is one of those 'immersion-enhancing' little features of the model.

Thank you sir, yes that glossy part on the static tires...why?... I wanted to add this tiny little plate on the livery. I found it attached inside the bomb bay door. But, when I shrunk it down, it lost all it's charm.

" yes that glossy part on the static tires...why?."
The "gloss" on the tyres is oil. It is only on the top surface of the tyres. It came from the engines when the aircraft were parked. If you look closely, you will see that we remove the oil stain as soon as the Lanc moves off and they become matt. We have spent time coding this to replicate what happened in real life as part of ground crew duties was to wipe off the oil before a mission. There was usually little time to use tyre covers as they do today. It is just part of our "diorama" extras.

Lovely job! Reminds me I have a 408 Sqn T-33 in the works!
