1/35 BF109G6 and Stuka coming. Mainly an excellent armor  manufacturers

Let's hope the sale will support their bold decision to get molds

btw announcement doesn't state if the Dambuster version will follow

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

It will come as they obviously got the full set of molds. By the way I'm ready to bet it is one of their mold makers who did it for WnW.

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.

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.

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

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..?

[KiwiZac]

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.

[Gazzas]

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.

[TankBuster]

Awesome news and another model to add to the list. Cheers.

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

Great news!! The test shots from WNW made me drool 

[Palm-tree]

Lancasters made in China!

 

Airfix missed an opportunity here, it will sell like hotcakes esp to the UK market.

[Woody V]

Times like this my wallet is glad my bench is too small for these behemoths. 

Looks like fun, but I'm out.

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!
