ssculptor Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 This excitement is part of our hobby. I have experienced it many times over the past 50+ years. All part of the fun. Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Southern Bandit Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I dont know why, but when I read Lancman and then Its here, I wrongly assumed the HK Lanc was finally here or close.Not that I'd buy one, or the B17's, fair play to those that do, just too big for me and my small house But I do like to read about others buying these great kits.

Artful69 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Well ... in fairness, now that the B.17 is finally out of the way ... all hands can focus on the Lanc ... which means it's that much closer Rog Phartycr0c 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I dont know why, but when I read Lancman and then Its here, I wrongly assumed the HK Lanc was finally here or close. Same, got a little excited there myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clunkmeister Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I was so lucky on mine, Lancman. My LHS ordered one for me without my say so, knowing I'd buy it. (I did). They promised me the same with the Lanc when it arrives. Ron will know why a guy in Tx loves the Lanc... Hopefully, a B-24 sometime, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I had the same rush of excitement to the exclamation "it's here!" until I saw the B-17 F tag. I hope this does well for HKM but one super biggie is enough for me, so I'm waiting.

ssculptor Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Hey! How about us who favor the crate the B-17 was shipped in; The B-24? This beast had a longer range and carried a much greater payload than the B-17. It fought all through the wary in virtually all the areas of contention. It had those wonderful nose turrets that were so interesting, as well as reminding one of the pug nose bulldog. Granted it was hard to control and needed constant attention by the pilot. But I luv it. Stephen Cees Broere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanKB Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Waiting for the Lancaster - looks like a more interesting plane to model to me. e.g. British and hence ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
