Lucky models have 25%off all kits over US$190 plus $20 fixed sea freight That makes kit AU$680 (US$480) plus freight https://doc.luckymodel.com/NL220609-1258/newsletter.htm Bugger, that’s almost half of what I paid! C’est la guerre, even at the double the price, if I divide the cost by the hours I’ll take to build it, it’s a hell of a lot cheaper than my other hobbies :) CharmyDown, Kagemusha and Uncarina 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zola25 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Uh - Just got notified that MBK is shipping mine today so should get it by Monday or Tuesday next week /Niels Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrRizzo Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Mine arrived today and there was no damage to clear parts! This is going to be a massive undertaking! It certainly is more impressive in person! Uncarina, scvrobeson and HB252 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) I hope they do the dambuster....That's the one I'll pay the price for. As a matter of fact, Border uses one of the dambuster images in their marketing of the kit; you can tell by the bomb bay modifications (although I believe the intent is to highlight the cockpit/nose turret installations).

Kagemusha Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Received an email from Lucky regards sending out the replacement clear parts, so this issue is being addressed. nmayhew and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zola25 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I got mine delivered this morning and have just spent a couple of hours going through the sprues - just wow! - I am quite blown away to be honest - And I am not just saying that to justify to myself spending that kind of money. It really is incredibly detailed. I cannot wait to get started on it /Niels scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phill P Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Anyone have an electronic copy of the latest instructions? The set on Scalemates is pretty much unusable due to low resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The set on Scalemates is pretty much unusable due to low resolution. Just as an explanation, me thinks there might be a restriction on file size to be uploaded to ScaleMates. Doesn’t make things better. Also, whenever I uploaded a PDF file, SM software seems to do something, making the file even worse. Also, the assembly manual is also rather on the lower end of what is possible. Far away from anything WNW did… I for myself hope to make it more clear watching the YouTube vids of Nigel’s Modelling Builds. Drop me a PM with your Email address, and I will do Scans of the manual. This takes some time, though. Phill P and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurzacher Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Nigel has just posted a video on hints and corrections he found when doing his build. Also, the assembly manual can be seen clearly: Uncarina and Kagemusha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade rowlands Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I’ve resisted so far telling myself its too big, despite in the same time having purchased the Lego Millennium Falcon UCS set and AT-AT UCS set which are no shrinking violets size wise and pretty much the same price as the Lancaster. I am tempted though and am watching Nigel’s videos. I’m hoping they do go down the route of doing a nose only kit like HK Models did. That I would buy. Resolve will also be tested should they do a Dambusters version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somebody Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not in stock yet but Great Hobbies have it listed at least. https://www.greathobbies.com/productinfo/?prod_id=BDRBF010 $999 for the kit with free shipping. Great Hobbies often have sales where they'll do 10% off your order too. Edited June 22, 2022 by BloorwestSiR Fix typo somebody 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 In the UK it appears the main distributor is Albion Hobbies (based in Bournemouth so not a million miles from me). I phoned them this afternoon asking when they expected delivery, the answer was in a fortnight. They expect distribution to retailers to be very quick, so mid-July could be on the cards. monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Very exciting news indeed Max Was going to crack straight on with it but may wait a little bit as I need to do a little more research yet. Regards. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
