People would probably get all kinds of upset if the movie Lancs were all CGI. Why not release them, especially if you had some real passion for the subject. For me, it says that some of my WWI hopes may be dashed. Gaz All CGI wouldn't bother me at all, if they looked realistic and didn't maneuver like F-16's.

Be honest, many of us will buy Lancs from both companies It's the same as with Mustangs, He-219, Mosquitos etc. it doesn't matter that you don't have dislay space for it, there is still this collector principle that feeds the market Enjoy it! and maybe we will get the stressed skin effect with this release jan I don't know, when the B-17 kit was announced, I swore that I'd have one. That, of course, was when I had my own house and 15 times more room than I have now, so no huge bombers for this kid; can't afford them and nowhere to display them either.

Palm-tree Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Well, the internet is going to be alight for some time over this news. A total surprise out of stage left. Could WNW be testing our appetite for ultra large model kits perhaps? If so, maybe a 1/32 zeppelin is not so far removed from fantasy afterall? Back to the Dambusters Lanc for a second though......wonder if it will come with a 1/32nd scale labrador complete with censorred name tag?

Brad-M Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Not sure why we have all this outcry for. HK Models is giving us a B.I/III and WnW is coming out with a Dumbuster Special version. Two different Lancs to pick from. IMHO, we now have a great choice to pick from. Cheers Brad Jan_G and David66 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vince14 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Well, that will be the first WNW kit I’m not going to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringleheim Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 As long as this proves to be an aberration and WNW goes back to making WWI stuff in the future, it's not a big deal. The company exists as Peter Jackson's personal play thing and we have learned in interviews that they kit whatever it is he is interested in, and that they do no need to make a profit. Combine that with an upcoming Peter Jackson Dambuster film, and it makes a lot of sense that WNW is making this kit. I'm just annoyed that our "3 new kits under development" is really only 1, plus the Lancs. Ryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the ZM He218 and Revell He218, and the ZM Do-335 and HK Do-335. I don't think the HK kits were going to make WNW any money and Peter J wanted a merchandise tie-in. If HK cuts their price, I am sure they can sell some kits, too. I would like to see WNW box them under a different label. Keep WNW as WWI and maybe WWIIW (World War II Wings) for their new Lancs and... who knows. Jan_G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to be annoyed when there is nothing ‘written in stone’ the WNW has to produce any new kits of any subjects.

Gazzas Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Too big. Even a 1/32 scale (insert any aircraft with more than one engine) would be too big for my limited space. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they could have made some kind of announcement sooner than this. It's going to hurt HK for sure and to announce it so close to the release of the HK kit is pretty low.
