ScoobyDoo Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I hope this is close to being released but since we still aren't seeing any sprue shots I feel it is further away than most of us think or hope. I've held off buying any of the big bombers but this kit will definitely be on my must-have lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've held off buying any of the big bombers but this kit will definitely be on my must-have lists. You need tools to have test shots. The Lanc is currently being tooled. Sprue shots sometime mid-late January, from my estimation. Cees Broere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoobyDoo Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 The box art slightly resembles the Tamiya box, also if I remember right the cookie was last to go and the most common load carried was 12 SBC's plus the cookie so I do hope we get a mixed bombload. I can't wait for it's release and I think it will be in the same price range as the B17 £230-250. Graham Yes, the cookie was last to go to avoid unwanted collisions.

Cees Broere Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Who says the Halifax (or Stirling) is less iconic. :hmmm:The iconicness of the Lancaster is due to good wartime pr, it was also called the daily telegraph bomber. Post war this was continued even more. Similar to the Spitfire/Hurricane debate. Cheers Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post war this was continued even more. Similar to the Spitfire/Hurricane debate. Cheers Cees ...and later helped by the fact that no complete Halifax (until those recovered from various lakes) or Stirling survived! Personally, I'm hoping that good sales for the Lancaster will encourage the manufacturers to tool up a Halifax, Stirling, B-24, Wellington, Whitley, Hampden, Beaufort, (insert Aircraft of choice here!)...

mozart Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I'd be especially happy with a Wellington and a Stirling, both somewhat odd aircraft in their own right but both so important to the war effort in many ways. Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
