Hobby Boss B24 J .

I`ve just jumped in with both feet and ordered the upcoming B 24 from Hannants for £ 135 . Why so cheap for a model of

this size ? , is there something I should know ? .

Hi

 

   Nice 👍😀

    I might get one of these when they come out, the HK lanc is to expensive 

 

   I imagine some raf CC conversions will come out from someone , leigh light etc 

   maybe even 100 Group stuff 

 

I wonder if they will follow up with a 1:32 halifax 

 

   cheers

What scale!

1/32

https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/HB83211

so 41.25 inches wing span.

Which, personaly, is not a problem for a flying model which disassembles for storage, but well beyond my limit for a one-piece static model. Nice for those who live in barns, though.

Space isn`t a problem for this old boy . Mine`s a three bedroom house with only myself and a barmy Black Lab in it ! . Bring on the biggies , though

I would draw the line at a B 36 ! , ( remember seeing two of `em back in `55 ) Would love a B 26 and a Hali Mk 3 also , ( anyone listening ) .

`Don`t mean resin though ! .

Does anyone know where i can purchase this kit off the shelf as such.......as the places ive found on-line you have to pre-order......i was hoping i could buy it as a stock item.

 

thanks

Its available here in Australia now, so can't be too far away for you Don.  The reason for the low price is its definitely been built to a budget, think an upsized 48 scale model.  There is still a decent interior, separate control surfaces, but the engines are very simplified, and it's not fully riveted.  The rivets only being around the periphery of the panels, which I think is massively disappointing.  It also seems to have the same problem as the old monogram kit, that being the turrets have been split into halves with the resultant seams to deal with.

 That said, Im sure the aftermarket companies will be putting out correction sets in droves, and the price point is hard to go past

This may help you further
