They did get hit with about 12"-20" of snow across the region last weekend. I can only imagine how backed up that UPS hub is right now. A delay? Our local postal service, South African Postal Services had a 4.1 Million package delay. They only cleared it up end of November. Stuff I ordered from Hannants in April, only arrived last week. .8 months later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping my head down and not mentioning it to the wife yet, think I will wait until either I or her have a few drinks inside of us ! And that is not the end of it. You are going to want all the AM as well. Edited December 18, 2018 by Gerhard npb748r and ykak 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx, a bit rusty with the links etc. Been away from this site some time as after B-17G, I just could not make any planes for a while.

npb748r Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 just had mine delivered from Hannants. The box is massive, bigger than I expected - haven't yet explored too deeply into it. My initial thought whilst smiling madly - who on earth would have thought that one day I would be the proud owner of a 1/32 injection moulded kit of the Lancaster bomber ? This is the aircraft (albeit Airfix in 1/72 scale) along with the Halifax, B29, Sunderland, Spitfire and Beaufighther that I spent the 1970's holding in my hands flying around my home to the tune of the Dambusters march. We are so lucky that we now have so much choice in 1/32 scale. Looking forward to some quiet time after Christmas to build the beast !

Shoggz Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Yep, mine came in today from Hannants too! Not bad eh? One day from arrival at Hannants HQ to my neck of the woods. Just to be contrary, I don't actually think the box is that big! When you have the 1/24th scale Airfix Mossie in the stash, ANY other box looks small in comparison! npb748r and nmayhew 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggz Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 First thumbs up. The paint call outs have AK Interactive, Tamiya and Gunze/Mr Hobby values attached. Nice. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

32tragic Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) Size matters.....A bit of trivia FYI The real Lancaster is marginally smaller in both wingspan and length to the B-17. (B-17F/G W/S 103' 9" L 74' 9" - Lancaster W/S 102' L 69' 6") It's the beefier fuselage and wings that makes the Lancaster appear bigger. And the kit box is the exact same size for both the Lancaster and B-17 kits. Edited December 19, 2018 by 32tragic npb748r 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
