Bomber_County Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Having grown up in a rural area, all of the fruit growers had bomb trailers as produce trailers. They added a flat bed and being so low were ideal for transporting fruit bushels out the orchards. They were in plentiful supply as we had 6-7 ex bomber airfields very close........knowing some farmers they are stilll in use.......

GrahamF Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) When we were researching the Type E Trolley Kit there was one that had recently turned up at the Lincolnshire Aviation Museum which not only is home to 'Just Jane' but is a working farm as well, this Trolley had clearly been used as a farm trailer as there were some extensions to its side, nothing a gas axe couldn't sort out!

TonyT Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 We were still using them in the RAF during the late 80's when I left as they were such useful things. They will probably still be using some in some places. Iain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerhard Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Enough already the suspense is killing me!!!! When will this be released. Everything I have read thus far say it was due March 2018. Phartycr0c 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phartycr0c Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 My understanding was that it may be this month, however............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 My belief in its release is suspended until I actually see it. I've no doubt whatsoever that it will come, but when only the Dear knows! Max Rick Griewski and Bomber_County 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunwinglow Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 It will land, when the wheels touch the ground, and not a moment before! (Misquoting my fathers favourite phrase....) Bomber_County 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyT Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) It's not going to show that much, an ambulance reversed up to the rear door and parked doors open with figures about would make a hell of a powerful diorama.

JamesHatch Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 We will have elements of the Lanc on show at Shizuoka, but not the whole thing. Tooling is expected to be complete two to three weeks after the show. We're sure you'll like what you see. We should have it on the Japanese distributors stall (Beaver). alaninaustria, Artful69, The Phantom and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wunwinglow Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I cannot wait!! Although my credit card might have a different opinion.... MikeMaben and Bomber_County 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I cannot wait!! Although my credit card might have a different opinion.... You and me both, still haven't started my Tamiya Mossie and at my rate of building tats probably three years. So what's the Lanc going to take me. If I wait and buy it when I am ready to start it's going to be as rare as unicorn droppings.........and as expensive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
