LSP_Kevin Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Hot off the press on the Border Model Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=872466436716346&id=339312286698433 For those who can't access or read the post, here it is: Quote Today we are releasing our first 1/32nd aircraft BF010 Avro Lancaster w/full Interior. When we first saw the 3D model and BOXART of it, we were hooked. Due to the change of events in 2020, we ended up acquiring the molds for this kit. We spent a year doing more testing, fixing, including making instructions without design drawings in order to make this epic kit a success. Finally we finished it. We contacted the artist, Mr. Mark Postlethwaite. and purchased the rights to use the painting from him. It will eventually be marketed as BOXART for this product. Due to many production troubles and mold maintenance issues, the product will be sold in limited quantities worldwide and will not be produced again for a certain period of time afterwards. This Christmas season, it will be available for pre-order all over the world! Let the games begin!

Kent My only concern is their heavy emphasis on a limited one-off release. I'm guessing there won't be enough to go around.
