Mark P 886 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I'll be waiting for a 617 Sqn Lancaster or the inevitable resin conversion. Mark Proulx mpk and Dennis7423 2 Link to post Share on other sites
tomprobert 3,397 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) I’ve just seen over on Britmodeller that HK have scaled down their Lanc and will be releasing it in 1/48th scale. We can finally bid the Tamiya veteran a fond farewell! Edited February 18 by tomprobert Phartycr0c, MARU5137, scvrobeson and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites

No worries Tom! Mine was very, very ambiguous. I'm going to change the title to reflect the topic, now that the cat has fully exited the bag. - Dennis S.

Pup7309 668 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Great news for Lanc fans! So when are we going to see a new 1/48 B-24? It’s a 1976 vintage pressing! Dennis7423, MARU5137 and mpk 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm hoping that HK continues the trend and scales down their B-25 series. Then, once they make all that money on those guys, give us a 1/32 B-26 Marauder, and a 1/32 Handley Page Halifax Mk.III! - Dennis S.
