  Subject: Tamiya 1/48 scale Lancaster 10 DC 9 (drone carrier)

  This is my first submission to ARC . 
  History:
  In the end of the fifties, the RCAF started a new training program for fighter pilot at Cold Lake Alberta ; they modified two canadian built Lancasters MK 10 ,PX-851serial number KB-851 and PX-848 serial number KB-848  to carried Ryan's KDA-4 Firebee drone . Both aircrafts belong to the Central Experiment Proving Establishment/ Air Armament Detachment CEPE/AAED based at Cold Lake . The training program had a short life ending it's activities early in the sixties.

  The kit:

   it's Tamiya 1/48 scale Lancaster MKIII modified to a Lancaster MK10. Modifications are like this.   I removed all armament and radar, closed all turret mg sluts, added some  antennas under and top of the fuselage and scrachtbuilt  the drone using as base components fuel tanks in 1/32 scale  from an old F-15 model and plastic sheets. Make two pylons under the wings to carry drones.. Thanks looking Serge
