If you wish to mark any guide lines on Depron you should use a ball point pen with a light touch, or a fine point felt tip pen.  Depron marks easily so any markings should be on the inside of the parts.

Items being joined can be bonded with UHU Por adhesive, 5 min epoxy, or hot glue.

Sewing pins or sellotape can be used to hold the pieces while they set, please note that sellotape when removed may leave a mark where it has removed the “bloom” of the depron, this will be noticeable when making the first paint covering.

Some spare depron in suppied in case of breakages.

Some trimming and shaping will be required.

The Avro Lancaster is a British four-engined Second World War heavy bomber Second World War heavy bomber made initially by Avro for the Royal Air Force (RAF). It first saw active service in 1942, and together with the Hanley Page Halifax it was one of the main heavy bombers of the RAF, the  RCAF, and squadrons from other Commonwealth and European countries serving within RAF Bomber Command.

The "Lanc", as it was affectionately known, became the most famous and most successful of the Second World War night bombers, "delivering 608,612 tons of bombs in 156,000 sorties." Although the Lancaster was primarily a night bomber, it excelled in many other roles including daylight precision bombing, and gained worldwide renown as the "Dam Buster" used in the 1943 Operation Chastise raids on Germany's Ruhr Valley dams
