thierry laurent Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I was sure this was coming. The question was essentially who was going to market this monster! Border are producing good and reasonably detailed armor kits. Their prices are also very competitive. However 1/35 is a very crowded afv scale. The situation is quite different in 1/32 as there are not five or ten companies who released the same topic! I guess the limited release is a way to test the market reaction. If they sell very quickly there is zero doubt they will make other batches Jan_G, Archimedes and scvrobeson 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way I'm ready to bet it is one of their mold makers who did it for WnW. Jan_G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geedubelyer Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Thanks for the link Kev. This is super news for sure. From the article you showed it says that there won't be further releases for some time rather than never so there is hope perhaps? Cheers.

Stokey Pete Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Great new to see that this beauty will finally hit some shelves. Do I have space to display one, not in the slightest. Do I still want one, absolutely yes I do. I’m already thinking of how to wall mount one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 56 minutes ago, LSP_Kevin said: My only concern is their heavy emphasis on a limited one-off release. I'm guessing there won't be enough to go around. Kev It's smart marketing, no doubt to ensure it does sell, especially with no mention of the Dambusters version, incidentally their 1/35 Bf 109G is retailing for £69.95 at Hannants, so not cheap, I have their Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.F1 which is an excellent kit retailing at competitive £53.95. I wonder if the rumours are true of the other WnW's kits they have..? LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiZac Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Fantastic news for those with the hangar space! Seriously, I’m very, very happy for all those who have been waiting for this day. Mind you if the nose section kits end up getting released too, then I’d love to give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Well, I'm happy for all of you that want it. I hope it's affordable, and that hopefully you get to them before the speculators. The retailers here want $100AUD for the 1/35 109. I hate to imagine what they'd want for the lanc.

dennismcc Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I'm pleased that this kit will at last be offered for sale rather than the molds sitting in a store room somehwere and not being used. Looking at the test shots at Telford it looks fantastic and what a pity it would have been if all that fine work was going to be wasted. However it is a mite too big for me so I will not be buying one. Cheers Dennis MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotsman Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Quote Airfix missed an opportunity here Well they've never made a 32nd scale aircraft , and have said they never would, for them 24th scale only - now who has a shed large enough to house a 1/24 Lanc?, hmm pardon me , I have to go somewhere and think about that!
