No-one had done a Lanc, so...

Will give it a go NEXX, just gotta get the upper fuselage and lower surfaces done first. Then individual aircraft be easy.
Major probs with stretching on the engines nacelles, and mirroring/stretching on upper fuselage.
You got the original serial number of the aircraft?
Is it historic?
I believe that the City of Lincoln bit wouldn't have been on original?

The City of Lincoln wouldn't appear on the Lancaster - that just reflects 'Bomber County', i.e. Lincolnshire.

Mickey the Moocher reflects Lancaster III serial number EE176 of 61 (Bomber) Squadron.  It was credited with 128 ops although only 115 were marked on the aircraft.  You can read more here http://www.airsceneuk.org.uk/hangar/2000/display2000/display.htm and http://www.raf.mod.uk/bbmf/bomber.html
