Dennis7423 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 One impressive beastie, that's for sure. When I first heard it announced, I thought, "no way, not gonna do it. One big Lancaster is enough for me." I have an HK one that I'm definitely building, but turns out, she's earmarked for a museum at this point. As I thought more about this kit, I think it might fall under those "once in a lifetime" builds. I've got several others in that category... Trumpeter 1/16 King Tiger with upgrades, Trumpeter 1/200 USS Hornet, 1/6 Hasegawa Se.5a, and 1/96 wooden USS Constitution. Seeing these images probably sealed the deal. I'd love to have one in my display case for myself and others to enjoy. She's tastefully beautiful. - Dennis S.

mozart Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Having just seen it "in the flesh" I was delighted to see that the stressed skin effect isn't as noticeable as I feared from looking at photographs. It most certainly is one very impressive beastie, but then so is the HK one, most definitely not "the poor relation".

ade rowlands Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Looks great. I’ll be getting one or two of the forward fuselage kits for sure. alanash1963, Jeff, Jan_G and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafju Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Thanks, but are all these parts plastic moulded or 3D printed? Jan_G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padraic Conway Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) Yes, I saw this yesterday as well and would fully support Max in his assertions about the stressed skin effect; this is beautifully done! The Lancaster nose means that I'm now down for my first WNW kit when it finally appears on the shelves. Speaking with Mark on the WNW stand, he was very aware that this is an early Lancaster nose, but stated that a modeller would be free to adjust or amend the nose kit to make a later version. I don't care for web-based speculation about forthcoming kits on discussion boards (waste of time and electrons in my view!) but in this case I'm confident that a later blister for the nose will be forthcoming from either WNW or one of the aftermarket companies. Roll on 2020! Edited November 11, 2018 by Padraic Conway fat finger typo :( mozart, Troy Molitor, Jan_G and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robthepom Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I did think that the initial pictures looked like a finished WnW kit, and speculated that it would be released soon, but looking closely at the latest shots, i think, yes, the kit still needs a lot of attention what do the people who have seen it think, looks a bit gappy and clumsy to me, certainly not WnW standards just yet Patience grasshopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldcoupe Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 The assembled model looked like a mixture of 3D printed and injection moulded parts. The rear and forward fuselage looked like 3D prints, where the engine cowlings, spinners etc were a lot cleaner like IM plastic. This is a long way from finished, but it looks to be a very impressive kit when we get it, Cheers, Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_G Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) I know that new Wingleader magazine was discussed in General Discussion already but didn't see any direct heads-up that there is free sample available to download with couple of pages dedicated to interview with Richard Alexander about creating WNW Lanc sorry if it was mentioned already on the forum, anyhow really nice reading jan https://www.wingleadermagazine.com/#Free-Sample Edited November 28, 2018 by Jan_G Anthony in NZ, Rick Griewski, D.B.

ringleheim Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 This video really got the juices flowing; this kit is going to make an absolutely stunning display piece. Now to figure out how to find the space for it. Jan_G, alanash1963 and kkarlsen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancman Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Anybody else noticed that in the video clip the pilots seat has a cushion in the pan Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pascale Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I just spotted on the WNW website, they are hopeful the kit will retail for $350-$400 when it is released late this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade rowlands Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Personally hoping they still do that forward fuselage section only kit. I could go for a couple of those. Michael931080, alanash1963 and zerosystem 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
