I am following Nigel’s build on the net and will definitely use his ideas for mine it looks like the consensus of opinion is the nose and cockpit back as far as the navigator radio ops was painted black from the radio ops backwards was interior grey green
The turrets that’s another minefield some have black interiors some have green and some I have looked at look like bare metal / aluminium
There is also confusion over the radiators again green or silver and the wheel struts I’ve seen some pictures showing the bracing pair painted red
As for interior details I think you pays your money and takes your choice unless it’s a factory fresh so to speak it looks like the interiors were modified as and when circumstances dictated the handrails for instance I have seen 4 main colours Yellow ,White ,Green & Black but again in some photos if you look at the handrail a lighter colour can sometimes be seen wearing through the darker exterior
I don’t know if many of you were aware but back in 2010 Hachette Partworks released a 1/32 Scale Lancaster based on S for Sugar in a 125 parts it used the frame and rib method of construction then plastic stringers were added into the ribs to give the correct contours to the wings and fuselage
It had solid metal engines made up of about 10 separate parts plus the exhaust ports this was then skinned with very thin aluminium which you had to replicate the rivets using a pinwheel in so doing this gave the panels that canning effect that the new Border Models has but this was 12 years ago
Their colour scheme was black nose and cockpit then light green for the rear interior yellow for the handrails it was sadly lacking in interior details along the walls and had no radio equipment whatsoever but at the time it was unheard of for such a large kit of a Lancaster Bomber
I have attached a few photos to illustrate the design of this kit the extra wires hanging out all over the place was going to be my interpretation of adding additional detail
