Kagemusha Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Received the replacement clear parts, all ok, apart from a couple of small scuff marks on a rear window on the main canopy, should polish out easy enough, can enjoy the kit now, been under a dark cloud since I got it.

Phill P Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Have now decided to build mine as RAAF 467Sqn 'S' for Sugar. Top Notch decals and masks on the way! LSP_Matt, mozart, scvrobeson and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Mine’s going to be a 467 Squadron Lanc too, ME453 PO-L but she was shot down on her 6th op., having been with the squadron for just under one month……delivered 4 February 1945, lost 3 March 1945.

Same here, got really excited thinking I'd have it for the weekend, but then received a Parcelforce tracking notification to say they'd give me a timeslot on day of delivery. Nothing yet, but fingers crossed Monday. Thats been pretty much the lie of the land for my last couple of big H deliveries. 550 Squadron plane for me of course, Grandfather's one he flew in most BQ-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunpowder Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Am i right in thinking Victorious Virgin had no fuselage windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancman Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 My one was sent out Friday morning by Hannants and has been in the sorting hub since Friday night, so should eventually get up here by Tuesday. It takes a long time to travel 400 odd miles Stevepd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Mine arrived on Friday. I had a very quick look this morning. My Belgian reseller got his boxes from MBK in Germany (but was cheaper!). The good thing: MBK checked each box and acknowledged they were OK on a paper sheet. Then they put the clear sprues in bubble plastic sheets! A public "thanks" to them for that.

Finn Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 On 6/22/2022 at 6:53 AM, somebody said: any canadian retailer has this in stock? Rather order locally in anticipation of damaged parts & avoid dealing with time consuming back & forth with oversea retailers. Sunward has it on Pre-order, available August 20th: https://www.sunwardhobbies.ca/border-models-avro-lancaster-132-scale-with-full-interior-bf010/ Jari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancman Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 The big box arrived today and all good, a few small lines on some of the clear parts but all intact as is the cockpit framing. I also got a small bag of photo etch seat belts and 8 brass 0.303 barrels but no cooling jackets. Graham mozart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people have said this beforehand, but when the plastic is actually in your hands you can appreciate what a mind-blowing model this is. All us blokes know that size matters but the real magic is in the detail and sheer quality of the mouldings. Un-be-lieve-a-ble!
