vince14 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) Meh. So after all 30 pages of speculation it turns out not to be a new kit, but rather a small part of an existing kit.

Gazzas Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Hmmm.... a bit underwhelming. It's the 'new kit' hype without actually creating a new kit. Bill_S and John1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phartycr0c Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 In all fairness, I think this is a "banker" for HKM as it will be a popular seller, added to this are the nose art decals from the likes of Kitsworld etc that can vary the actual kit contents and Master barrel guns, Airscale dials and HGW belts. Certainly an alternative for those who cant store or don't want a full Lancaster. RLWP, Rick Griewski, kkarlsen and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But...all the hype came from this thread! None of it was marketing; all of it was rampant speculation by fickle modellers who (as noted earlier in this very thread) weren't going to be happy whatever was announced.

To be fair, almost all of the hype was in this 32 page thread. All HKM did was post a message that kit 01033 was coming soon and that it fit in their WW2 category. That’s it. Everything else was people here getting into a feeding frenzy guessing and wishing what the kit would be.

GrahamF Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Ah good it doesn't clash with my magnum opus, I'll keep the machines running. I think it's a great idea and very marketable too, my local museum that houses 'Just Jane' I can see that kit selling quite well if they did her. Any prospective buyer isn't faced with a whole kit to do and doubting their own modelling skills to do it justice but would be a good momento because as they say a lot today it could be displayed as a 'statement piece'.

Dave Williams Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) Looks like it was outed today at The Modeling News too. https://www.themodellingnews.com/2020/07/preview-hk-models-ahead-by-nose-on-new.html#more May just be me, but compared to US aircraft, this is a pretty loose definition of nose “art”. Except for one, or maybe two options, it’s just a lot of mission markings.
