I like to share with you the pictures of "Truly a work of Art"of this Lancaster by Nick Weet displayed at our Mall show in Sarnia

Wow, that truly is a work of art!

Do you have any other info on it, such as engines and retracts used, is it from plans, what is the span?
Has it flown?
Has he entered it in any scale competitions?

Thanks!

By the way, the full-scale is over 100ft wingspan, so 1/4 scale would be just over 25ft. (and stand 5ft tall)
Not to take anything away from this beauty, but it does not look like 1/4 scale.

I was looking at it thinking the same thing Ron, looks closer to 1/10 Scale.

Same as my B-17.

Very nice job though!

Looks like the wingspan about 13ft or so, Wayne Bransfield of former MAAC president had one about the similar size, I heard he crashed that a while back

it was a beauty in the air when I used to travel to burlington club. Definitely not looks quarter scale from the pic nice work though.

The scale is 1 1/4" = foot! 10ft 71/2" wingspan-
No The plane has not flown yet- don't know when it will happen- Nick has worked on this project for a L O N G time! (decades)- but I sure hope I can be there when it happens

JimMoss · 04-23-2005, 11:00 PM

Ya! Reading that sign sounds very similar to my B-17 not quite 40 lbs probably 35 though when it ready to fly wet! ...... I hope!

That is a real nice piece of art.. Although I can't do it myself, I really appreciate all the work that goes into producing a nice scaled out bird like this........

Thanks for the pic.

Excellent job on the lancaster. I've always had a thing for ww2 planes, both bombers and fighters. Well done....

And i think it's actually a 1.0416666666666666666/10 scale!!!

Dave Holmes · 04-24-2005, 07:56 AM

Beautiful job!

My math says 9.6:1. I guess that's probably the reciprocal of the above figures.
