After it’s release and much scrutiny we’ll find out if it is all this and more.
Apologies for any flippancy. Some of the detailed arguments are interesting up to a point.
The standard of witty replies here are great though...
Not really just a bit bored with the other threads...
But it would be interesting to see some flying boats or other interesting stuff go to injection moulding in 32nd scale.
Is it mold or mould? Have to Google that.
Wonder if we’ll see 1/32 20s and 30s subjects in the future? Anime films like ‘Porco Rosso’ etc include WW1 and post WW1 subjects like flying boats (and some fantastical type constructions). I thought this might interest someone like Peter Jackson. Stranger things have happened...
The WNW kit may not come into the world blazing a trail of glory, heralding a new age but I don’t think they will need to throw in a free mermaid to impress the bejesuz out of us either.
Funny thing is I don’t intend to get this one but after looking at the box art for the early version I think if you’re a Lancaster or WW2 fan all your Christmas wishes just came true.
Have to agree with what Vince has said.
I don’t think the WNW Lanc. will lead to every kit company oil canning every metal skinned a/c in every scale. But for premium kits I image they will be looking hard at this. You’d have to be a fly on the wall at one of their meetings to know what the future holds...
No doubt it’s release will launch many informative, entertaining and hopefully not too nitpicking threads...
I thought I read some time ago that HB we’re going to fix the frosted turrets in re-issued kits. Has anyone bought a kit recently and found this is the case? Or just another internet rumour?
Thanks guys!
At the end of the day price is relative. For me its expensive but if I was a Lanc fan, I'd be getting it.
Will it's surface texture be the 'Dreadnought' that recessed panel lines was in the 90's?
Interesting times.
. They can produce only 2 versions. No duellist pack. How soon it sells out depends on demand vs. how many units they crank out and sell before the molds get moth-balled.
Enjoy the sun and souvenirs!
+1 Yes that’s why I asked, but early days...Yeh, kind of waivering. To get or not to get, then which one? Both? Think I’ll start on the Pup- plenty of build threads...and Ryan’s photos are good motivation
