RichG Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) It looks beautiful and it is something I would love to own but a 1/32 Lanc is such a big beast and I am now fully reconciled to the fact that I just don't have the room for it so I can set the price aside knowing I won't be tempted to buy for that reason. The other factor of cost that concerns me is would I dare attempt to ever build it for fear of messing up. Nevertheless I love looking at images of the kit and I'm looking forward to seeing what can be achieved once people do build it. I would certainly consider a cockpit only version of the kit and I'm planning a project using the HK Models nose kit (which is expensive enough) and using the WNW/Border Lanc as a superb reference for things like cabling etc - to get a more accurate end result.

There’s no shipping cost from both Jadlam and e-Models btw i have also messaged MJR that their £620 is not competitive (usually their prices are pretty good) alanash1963 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanash1963 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 price is £620 at all out lets now not the best out come al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmayhew Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 yeah best price in UK is now £595 from MJR i am lucky enough to not be that price sensitive, but i am intrigued by the "roll the dice with Customs" Luckymodel deal, and perhaps a little closer to home the opportunity to use Modelbau Koenig (MBK) in Germany - their price of Eur599 works out £520ish i cannot work out from their website whether this includes shipping, although it does say it includes VAT MBK Eur599 price cheers Nick alanash1963 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary https://www.emodels.co.uk/border-models-1-32-avro-lancaster-b-mark-i-iii-ex-wingnut-wings-010.html £620.00 TODAY .......so where has the extra 62 quid come from in 72 hours? I think these people are all 'flying a kite' to see how desperately people want this kit and max out the price accordingly. I will (a) see what the plastic is like given it isn't WNW who are in charge of QC and there is a significant difference between the CAD and actual plastic images for this kit and (b) see what any price is once the initial "I must have it at ANY price" sales have filtered through. If I miss it, so what as it would only be a stash queen kit anyway. Gary Stevepd and alanash1963 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanG Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) Apparently 620 quid is the price that has been set for the UK. John over at Scalemodelshop has said that's the price he was given to sell it at by the company. Only good thing is that you can get a 5% discount on the price if you are a member of the his forum.

I would love to dive into this kit, but the price is a tad too much for me, as well as having nowhere to display the thing when finished! I will live vicariously through the builds that I hope crop up on here! I didn’t know we got a discount over at scalemodelshop! I order from them all the time.
