hahaha, sorry Andy forgot you're a moderator too, my apologies, but in general both these kits would look great  in 1/32 wouldn't they?.......

They will - though not from ICM! - heady days, I remember a magazine article from a long time ago of an American modeller's scratch build of a Boston, pity we're not getting one of those, but will settle for a Havoc.

Thanks Tim, I have one of his books funny enough, can't find any photos of his Boston unfortunately.

Looking at the photo and where it stands, I would say the christmas period is a bit optimistic. That is only about 90 days away.

Thanks Jan, a long held dream close to coming true.

I notice the seam around the nose .... and I was hoping that it was a join seam ... So that HGW could release glazed nose variants in the future.

But then I noticed that the mid-fuselage dorsal section with the Martin turret is part of the main fuse ... bummer ... If they do go for further releases they'll need new moulds.

Or use an insert.

Year ago HGW stated that they are not planning any other variants. But I can imagine that they will reconsider it once it sells good
