brewerjerry Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Hi I imagine it may depend on how the mosquito sells, the company would have to see a fair return for the investment to convince sales .... or it maybe another american aircraft ? but thats just my thinking it would be interesting if tamiya did a 1:32 lancaster as well cheers jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick32 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 There was one built up at telford last year, so i would think it wouldn't be too much longer. Maybe a release just in time for the Telford show this year? Either way, it looked great (and big!). I wouldn't have anywhere to put it (let alone a bench big enough to build it, or a wallet deep enough to buy it) but i would love one.

Paramedic Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Yeah, not too sure how much the Mossie would do for it.. It is supposedly *done* and a done model would probably be released? Sooner or later, usually atleast. Of the big bottom bombers this one is the one I would pick frst I guess so here is one hoping it is sooner rather than later..

Don149 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Thanks Fellas, Nick !, I didn't see the Lanc. at Telford in the flesh, but according to the reading it was a resin mockup. Ive always wanted to build one in a big scale ever since having a flight in one as a young air cadet, sat in the W / Ops seat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 They changed their Facebook pic to the Lanc so I added a comment and here is their reply. Hong Kong Models Co Ltd We are sorry for the delay of project. As we have some problem on R&D stage, where we couldn't have good enough information to carry on. Massive thanks to enthusiastic modeller and friends who provide the information and drawing we needed. That I am happy to tell. Lancaster is on the way. We will keep you update. Thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamf Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 My guess is that with the current state of the Chinese economy the printing presses of the Government funded business credit has slowed slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIkeMaben Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 it would be interesting if tamiya did a 1:32 lancaster as well ...and the £330 / $500 price tag ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewerjerry Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 ...and the £330 / $500 price tag ?? Hi Well the mossies are pretty much the same price so presumably any HK/ Tamiya lancaster would be similarly priced as well cheers jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayson Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 ...and the £330 / $500 price tag ?? I bought the Tamiya Mossie and HKM'S B- 25 'Strafer' at £140 and and £360 because I bought a bucketful of Eduard PE AM and resin parts. The Mossie is going OOB and the B-25 will get the full hit. I don't begrudge a bean of of it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In today's conversion £330 = $500. My point was that a 1/32 Tamiya Lanc would likely be near twice the price of their Mosquito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don149 Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Ive got the new Tamiya Mosquito in the paintshop at the moment,if they brought out a 1/32 Lanc. of the same detail and fit of parts, which it no doubt would be,Id certainly squeeze the wallet for one!. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cees Broere Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Chaps, I will be bringing the prototype to Telford again, same model as last year. This was only ever intended to test the general shape. The nacelle shapes are being reworked at the moment so the model is not up to date at the moment. Possibly 2nd quarter next year.

Cees Cees I dont care to much for the release date. Mainly concerned with an accurate model, overall shape and small details plus a certain simplicity in the build without to much in the way of small parts that will never be seen once closed up. I suspect you already have details of artwork you will present with the kit but if you are open to ideas??? Ian Lancaster Enthusiaist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No details for artwork yet, I support HK Models in providing information about the Lancaster. Last year at Telford I was given the prototype and it has been at my home since. It is only a mock up to provide a 3D model of what the eventual kit will look like. There is still a lot of tweaking going on. HK Models want to do it right, and it might take a bit more time but the wait is worth it. They are very enthusiastic about the Lanc.
