HK Lancaster.

HK have obviously worked very hard to get it right and clearly still are!! They won't release it until they're happy that it does the job in a way that the majority of modellers will appreciate. Unfortunately there will always be rivet counters and nit pickers, but if that's they're bag I haven't got a problem as I'll just let them get on with their thing and tune it out! I applaud HK's efforts and for offering we modellers an Avro Lancaster in 1/32 so buy it and do what YOU want with it - just enjoy it!!

 

Bravo HK!!

 

Now where's that McD FGR 2 Phantom II??? (I don't really mind if it's an FG.1 or an FGR.2 - just give me a Spey engined 'Toom!)

 

Best regards,

If they were skinned over, it wouldn't bother me, it would probably be a good idea, but then filling them in doesn't bother me either..... 

 

If they were skinned over though, there would be as many complaints from the 'Sit on my lap while I walk about' brigade who only want to shake the box and have it come pre painted as well.

 

HK can't win either way. Folks will moan....

 

Me, I am just ecstatic there is a 32nd Lanc coming at all!!

Couldn't have put it better myself Tim! We're supposed to be modellers after all, and we cope with "short comings"!

I leave the country for 3 days and bang, test shots etc etc etc..........

 

Couple of observations......bravo HK for doing a Lanc also IMHO £250 is pretty damn good for the behemoth so thank you again.......

 

for any detractors ............tough some of us are very excited..........

Anyone building this version?

I'd wager less than 1 in 10K buyers would be that interested in PA474 M as Cranfield college's laminar flow research vehicle.

And even fewer builders.

Guess the AM guys are going to be all over this one as well. 

 

Interesting to see f the Rose rear 2 x .50 cal rear turret will be an option.

The alternative Martin upper turret would be a likely conversion, with its strenghening plates and different location.
