Aeronut Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 The image looks like an up scaled version of the Tamiya kit The Tamiya kit doesn't have handed propellors and neither does any other Lancaster yet the CAD Jockey who produced that image thinks they do.

Shar2 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 The Tamiya kit doesn't have handed propellors and neither does any other Lancaster yet the CAD Jockey who produced that image thinks they do. Have you told them? They have asked for help from Lancaster experts, so there's still a chance to change things. Don't just point things out on here, get involved and help them make an accurate kit.

Iain Ogilvie Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 The Tamiya kit doesn't have handed propellors and neither does any other Lancaster yet the CAD Jockey who produced that image thinks they do. As a long expired CAD jockey I'd wager that's just because a quick 'mirror' was done to create the full 3D render - personally I'm not overly concerned at this stage...

RNoAF Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I must admit i know very little about the Lancaster, but what is the coolest version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNoAF Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 The standard bomber. Ok.Would like to build a tall boy or grand slam bomber. Or maybe a dambuster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar2 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Depends on you're point of view. I personally like the Grand Slam conversions, or the bulged bomb-bay with a Tallboy.

Finn Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Will it come with an open bomb bay complete with bombs and SBCs? Jari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shar2 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Not yet, only the CAD files. They're obviously not ready to mould anything as they've asked for more information from Lancaster experts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony.t Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) Gaffed. It was Pacific Coast Models announcing the 1/32 Tempest on 8 May. Obviously nought to do with HKM's releases. Edited May 9, 2013 by tony.t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 God knows (aka "my wife") that I usually do not care if a kit would fit into our house when finished, but I wonder how many really buy these beasts... I would not bother if HK Models would downscale their bombers to 1:48. There would be a bigger market I suppose. Anyway I fully appreciate that they make the efford to do these kits - wow.

jasman71 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Eta June? Ah nuts, I'll be at cosford ... what to do if one appears there, in a very large box? Would it even fit in the back of a panda?? May have to leave my mate behind , or sell him to pay for it I think that's the kind of model that really would be a labour of love. Usually my level of interest lasts a max of two months, after that I just want the damn thing finished. However, if someone took a year to super detail one of these, it would certainly look impressive, and no doubt a knighthood would soon follow ( services to the plastic adhesive and enamel paint industry )! Mind you, I'd love to see a built up one for sale on evilbay, postage = airdrop from a Herc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giorgio N Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I don't think I'll ever buy one of these (not my scale really), but to be honest I don't think it is a particularly expensive kit if a price around £180 is confirmed. Of course £180 is not pocket money, but it's the kind of money that buys a couple of medium sized modern fighters in the same scale or a Tomcat and a Spitfire. This will be a large kit with a lot of parts and could keep a modeller busy for many, many months. Overall, I'm convinced that the size will put off more modellers than the price.

Caerbannog Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 You have a point there Giorgio I think. The size will be an issue for many. And those which really need this kit will probably sell some other kits in their stock to make place and to finance the Lancaster as a sideeffect :-D But even if 160 GBP are the price for the kit... I mean honestly - who buys a kit like that and does not invest another 50% in etch and resin etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Kelley Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Having just completed the tamiya 1/48 version I might just stay clear of the 1/32. The tamiya one is very heavy when done- I would imagine you would need metal undercarriage to support the weight of one in 1/32. I also reckon you would need a dulux sized tin of black paint for it, lol. I went through 3 jars of tamiya xf-1 on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
