I just thought that question had been settled already. Maybe we should start a thread of what we know for sure about the kit. We likely won't get much new info about her until we get close to the release in a year's time so hopefully it won't end up 41 pages. It gets real tedious having to go back and forth through all that just to glean a few tiny nuggets of data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know as I was a member for years as the info from them kept me up with whats new. Also I could trade buy and sell to the other guys.The informal group folded when the guy who ran it retired. He stopped his publication "Kit Collectors Clearinghouse". Yep, remember John W. Burns. Had a couple of his catalogs. 4 hours ago, CATCplSlade said: ...

Jan_G Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) this will be released as one option of WNW Lanc (price 130 USD) Edited November 9, 2018 by Jan_G geedubelyer, MikeMaben, Kagemusha and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark williams Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Thats a great idea!, also like the fact that the full kit will be able to be displayed with the outer wings off thus fitting in a display cabinet...ill try that idea with my hk b-17f.

Dave Williams Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 That’s a neat idea for just nose art. But have to say $130 seems very pricey and doesn’t bode well for the price of the complete aircraft kit. As a minimum, I’d expect the full kit to be 3x the cost of the nose as a minimum, and maybe 4x more since you’re missing most of the fuselage, bomb bay, upper and tail turret, wings, engines, and gear.

scvrobeson Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 There's probably a couple hundred parts in just the nose section, that price doesn't seem too out of line for what Wingnuts will produce. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds more than reasonable... The cost per hours of fun in building, detailing, painting and weathering a 1/32 Lancaster would make it CHEAP entertainment. Super cheap actually. geedubelyer and The Dude 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robthepom Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 this is great news indeed I honestly think there is a huge yet untapped market for large scale nose sections/gun bays etc etc, imagine 3 or 4 of these WnW nose sections with your favorite nose arts I cant wait KiwiZac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
