ScottsGT Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) I’ve got the ROG Mosquito. Does that count? Also have the Hobby Boss P-61. Planning on building the “Waubash Cannonball”. It was my uncles ride during WWII. Edited December 21, 2018 by ScottsGT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Howie Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 HK have done a very impressive kit with the Lanc. Been harassing mine for a few days and other than short changing us on the canopy blister situation the rest of the kit is outstanding. It will sit beside the Wingnut kit well and certainly holds its own... Out2gtcha, npb748r and alanash1963 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think for those who dont like the oil canning/stressed skin look, it will remain a good choice as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cees I suspect that once the WNW kit is actually "in hand", it will still outclass the HKM offering in the eyes of many. KiwiZac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robthepom Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 with the amount of kits I've seen on social media and forums, they must be close to selling out the first batch, maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Howie Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 One of the Aussie retailers was saying that they had sold the first 2000 to shops/distributors worldwide so when the clear fuse edition is gone its gone. Glad to see HK getting some money back on what is generally a very nice kit. Far from money wasted and yea if you dont want a stressed skin looking Lanc its a great kit. And it has two of the high time Lancs that flew some of the most dangerous missions of the war and they are RAAF machines to boot. Just need Mick Martins dambuster now and the RAAF Lancaster collection is complete! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigels modelling bench Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) Hi everyone.. well, I was gonna hold out for the WNW, but having seen this one in Antics.. in the flesh shouting "BUY ME" I couldnt say no, and it was £349. I've done a quick review on my Youtube channel..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f583jAVRwZE Watch the video, you'll see why it's a "quick" review. Full review on the way later today, Sat December 22nd, just instructions, decals, PE and clears to start with.I have noticed something which is a little scary.. the teardrops on the sides of the canopy are separate parts??? WTF??? I also notice there are more parts on the clear sprues than the instructions cover? like two bombadier blisters and the bulge under the belly?? Having looked around the net at images of the real lancs out there and going through my pile of books on the subject I must admit, perhaps the canning is not as big an issue as we think?? I do wish it had raised rivets though. Please tell me, is it "Fact" that the clear fuselage parts are a one off as they used the moulds for the clear parts and then added the rivet detail to the moulds rendering them useless for the clear parts.
