BD757 Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I have watched and followed others do amazing things with this kit that I know I can't replicate. But I am sorely tempted by this boxing. The image states new clear parts. Is that newly tooled clear parts do we think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By far the most disappointing aspect of the kit, and has put me off building it, which is a shame after spending a year's modelling budget on it! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 So much for that "only one pressing, you must buy it now or lose out forever." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t HKM do something similar, releasing a limited edition with duplicated clear fuselage parts, but which I think is still available? With the Border Lancaster I wonder how the original moulds will stand up to another release? The price of the Border Lancaster is all over the place; I recently saw it at Luckymodel for £440 and it’s easy to find their discount code reducing their prices by about 18%, but it’s now disappeared for sale to the UK, strangely they do have it available to the USA for £$660 ( and maybe a discount code too?).

Simon Cornes Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 I’m glad that I’ve got mine! As for future boxings, well I imagine Border will make them for as long as the moulds hold out. This reference to ‘new glazing’ is interesting given that you would expect the standard B.I/III sprues to be included and the problem was injecting the plastic fast enough to produce very thin glazing. Maybe they are using a different plastic mix? It will be interesting to hear what people say when the kit is out. I won’t buy one, one Lancaster at that scale is enough for me!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 If they have done new clear parts it would be nice if the provide them to those of us who own the kits with the flawed clear parts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverstone 2 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Hi Everyone, Haven't posted on here for a while. This is probably not the correct forum thread to ask this about the Border BF010. I just wanted to reach out if anyone had any good ideas on how to acquire replacement Clear Frames C1 & C2 from Border Models. Reason I ask is I have recently purchased the BF010 Privately as they are hard to get now and probably anguished too long over it after already owning 2 HKM Lancasters. Which i still have not built either. Probably not one of my better choices in life! But I really wanted to have the ex WNW (border) Lancaster. Bottom line is I have the usual suspects of Broken Clear Parts & i'd really like to get them replaced. There are only 4 essential pieces that need replacing: Sprue C1: Part: # C13 - Main Canpy Part: # C17 - Front Turret Sprue C2 Part: # C18 - Dorsal Turret front Part: # C26 - Dorsal Turret back Can anyone Help? I don't mind having to shell out some money if it's required? Best regards Phil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BD757 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Anyone know if this has been released in the Far East? A couple are popping up on a well known auction site! One for ridiculous money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so, I'm sure I saw a link on eBay to Dawn Grocery or similar for the Dambuster boxing yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewfl290 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 My Dambuster arrived last night, I was keen to check out the clear sprues. The box is much bigger and the original clear sprues are in their own box in a compartment. That’s really good news. There is a however though. Border have produced an additional sprue, it is too big to fit in the box with the other sprues and is slipped in down the side. On my kit, one of the turret mouldings is broken but my understanding is that some of the clear parts are duplicated in the event of damage so it’s not a problem that one item is broken. The new clear sprue does have some new parts as well. I’d post pictures if I had the time… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only issue was that the main canopy had detached from the rest of the clear sprue. I have repackaged appropriately to keep it safe and scratch free. It is a monster of a kit. Just need to build up the courage to get her on the bench! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
