GSNeil Posted May 24, 2023 Posted May 24, 2023 That looks nice - more concerned with well made kits than scale.... Bill Cross, ivanmoe and BGB 3
dennismcc Posted May 24, 2023 Posted May 24, 2023 Everyone to their own but I'll pass on this one. Cheers Dennis John1, Mark P and Out2gtcha 3
Zola25 Posted May 24, 2023 Posted May 24, 2023 I hope it is a big success - so somebody will make it in 1/32 as well /Niels Archimedes, HB252, Rick Griewski and 1 other 4

Gary Needham Posted May 24, 2023 Posted May 24, 2023 Speaking for myself, I would have bought this in a heartbeat were it 1/32 but I assume that sales of this 1/35 aircraft range have justified their decision for Border (unless) the 1/35 range is some Border Models executive's indulgence ala Peter Jackson at WNW - i.e. what they 'want' they 'get'...? In my own modelling circle of friends and amongst club memberships (x2), I only know one LSP builder who has bought one of these 1/35 aircraft kits and even he says his 109, whilst a lovely kit which he enjoyed, looks 'odd' on a shelf alongside his 1/32 builds and so, he won't be buying any more. Perhaps the AFV builders are dipping their toe into this scale with aircraft, or their good quality (as I understand them to be) attracts the more casual modeller..? Gary

That is a render not the plastic yet so it will be great to see the real thing. Though I'll pass on this release as I now have the Val and Zero in 1/32- it is good to see any LSP being put out there. I hope it is a big success for them. For those who want to build in 1/35 I wonder are there any good photos with at least the Val and Kate on the same deck? I am not familiar with the detailed setup of the Kido Butai's distribution of aircraft across its carriers but someone is bound to know. Kind regards, Paul
Bill Cross Posted May 24, 2023 Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) This is freaking awesome. I wish I were 20 years younger with all the cool aircraft coming out in 1/35th and 1/32nd. Hopefully someone will release the Pearl Harbor wooden fins for the torpedo. Edited May 24, 2023 by Bill Cross
Marcleon Posted May 24, 2023 Posted May 24, 2023 Lovely! I will get one... and hope for the Val, Zero, etc... Regards, Marc

I'm not sure plastic aeroplane kit plans count as "joyous", whilst people commenting about the scale, on a scale model aeroplane discussion site, can hardly be construed as "whining"? There are always people with opinions that are wrong different to yours, but opinions are two a penny and can safely be ignored at a distance.
Guest Posted May 24, 2023 Posted May 24, 2023 If the Border Lancaster prices are a yardstick, this will be an expensive kit in an unusual LSP scale. I'm still shocked Border are doing this in 1/35. I'm sure it will be a cracking kit, but the expected cost & scale rules me out. Yes, I'm an old fogy - at least when it comes to large scale plastic aeroplane kits.
