LSP_Kevin Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Howdy folks, In something of a record turnaround, I've just published my review of the new Lancaster nose kit from HK Models: HK Models 01E033: Avro Lancaster B Mk I Nose Art Kit Thanks to HK Models for the review sample. Enjoy! Kev Tolga ULGUR, BloorwestSiR, Archimedes and 9 others 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.B. Andrus Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Great review, Kev. Maybe this will lead to a series containing the B-17's and B-25's. Those would add the cherries on top for those unable to fit the whole kits in their collections. It also may lead to folks purchasing the whole enchilada after trying the taco al carbon of a Nose Art kit. Good marketing move.

scvrobeson Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Has anyone that's built the kit shown how the blisters fit on the canopy? Seems like they'd create some weird optical distortion being on top of the flat canopy window that's already there. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave T Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I'm confused, i thought the clear fuselage parts are a one off batch in the initial release and then they modified the mould ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my impression as well. That the clear ones were made and then they added the rivet detail to the mould for the regular run.

LSP_K2 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 That was fast, Kev. While not really my thing, I do admire the overall quality that I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt In such a great kit its truely an enormous letdown and really a review brushing this off as being “easy to leave off” is pretty average. Most Lancasters had the blisters and i cant see a way to put them on that will look even remotely close to reality. For such an expensive kit to not mould a second glasshouse with them in place is being truely cheap. Multiple nose pieces for the B-17F but the most numerous config for the Lanc is a cheap afterthought. And its only the most obvious thing you will see when you look at any finished kit as yiu cannot hide it anyway you try. Maybe someone will vacform a replacement..
