Nigels modelling bench Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Hi all, No doubt some of you will have seen my review and build of the beautiful Border model 1/35 Stuka here and on You Tube. Well, they have now kindly sent me a 1/32 Lancaster kit which I am tracking the delivery of hour by hour. It is due to arrive by this Friday, March 18th '22. As soon as it arrives I shall make a quick "It's here" video and then a full unboxing looking at sprues, instructions and decals et al. I will then get stuck into the build straight away.. I have wanted this kit for over 4 years since seeing it at Model world in 2018.. can't believe after all the ups and downs it's finally landing on my doorstep.. strange really, as my doorstep is built on an ex RAF site in Gloucester UK.

Tissue and Dope Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 How VERY exciting ! Hopefully general release won’t be too far off. I wonder if the example they are sending you will have the final instructions with it? Iirc the previous unboxing videos didn’t’.

Nigels modelling bench Posted March 17, 2022 Author Share Posted March 17, 2022 It does have the final instructions and decals yes. Only "unfinished" parts are the clear sprues, which arent too bad. i know they'll perfect them, the Stuka clear parts are awesome.

cbk57 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I watched some of this video and this model is perfect for a group build, however what I mean is a group buys it and splits the models sub assemblies up among 5 or 10 people and combine it all then weather it into an integrated whole. Thanks for showing the instructions that is always the part I want to see when looking at new release kits.

The only place I've found a release date is Hobby Easy and they are constantly changing it. Last week it was March and now they're showing April.

I really like to support Aussie hobby shops, but $400 is a fair chunk of change, it’s damn near the price of the HK Grand Slam Lanc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince14 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Hannants were saying that they didn't expect it to land with them until April I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zola25 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Well, If Nigel is saying that they are still working on the clear parts its probably safe to say that they haven´t even left the factory yet.. April in Europe is starting to look optimistic.. but hey, its actually coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tissue and Dope Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I see on BM that a customer in New Zealand who had ordered from Border’s Ali Express shop has just received theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chek Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Sent without corrected clear parts, as per the Nigel Mod. Bench Youtube review. But Border have undertaken to replace the faulty parts within 2-3 weeks, according to the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
