Chris Jephcott Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 For all of those who have been calling out for WNW to release a subject not related to WW1, this is incredible. The trouble is that I have the HK models one on order... so do I cancel that? My man cave will not support 3 1/32 Lancasters. Nor will the roof of it. But I was not expecting this at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICMF Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 The announcement is for a Dambusters kit AND a Mk.I/III. The Dambusters boxing is shown as 32044. I think it's a safe assumption that the Mk.I/III will be kit # 32043. Which means we now know what two of the three kits are, so we're just waiting to find out about 32062. Related to the Dambusters, or a 'normal' WWI subject? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look closely at the bottom of the WnW release pics of the Dambusters kit, you can (faintly!) make out that it says that the Mk.I/III kit is indeed #32043, and that it's "in development". EDIT: The red sash/banner also says "late 2019" (I think!). Edited September 28, 2018 by type40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ka-Efka Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Yay... New Lancaster in 1/32... I guess 'yay' for many... but not for me. I had hopes they would stay much closer to their current topic when making their first post WWI kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oz rb fan Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 well this has blown me away......i was hoping for some golden age kits from them after they moved on from WW1..........really wanted a modern Curtis P6e 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pommie commie Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Saw a talk by Richard Taylor (WETA) couple of years ago, Dambusters movie was mentioned.........but not this! Would much prefer 1/48. At their prices, it'll make the HK one look cheap! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

posh boy Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 gutted to say the least I hoped they would stay with the ww1 subjects,i love the lanc but in that scale no thanks thankfully we still have copper state models nieuports to look forward too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WV908 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 It’s been mentioned on Facebook that the third announcement is a Manchester. Not sure how much travel that rumour has, but there you go. I can’t be the only person that thinks this Lanc is absolutely pointless? The HKM Lanc is literally in production now / will be within the next few weeks and there is already a dambusters conversion for it. People may push the detail aspect, but I can seriously see this thing being North of £500, if not £600. Surely WNW would have been better off doing a Halifax, Stirling or Wellington or sticking closer to home with an 0400 or a Vimy? No?

Cheers, WV908 This has probably been in development for five or more years, and it's Peter Jackson, who still wants to make his Dambuster movie , there is the kits connection to WNW , hopefully the movie gets a kickstart now, the boxart would make a great movie poster. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WV908 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 So the chances are then that this has been in development longer than the HKM Lanc. It’ll be an interesting comparison when both are out, but i’m still going for the HKM one and hoping out for aftermarket treaded mainwheels.

Where will I live until I sell them? It took me completely by surprise but it's obviously to tie in with all the research they have already done for the Dambusters Film. I hope this step away from WW1 only subjects opens the door for some of the Inter war silver wings (and Yellow Wings please) subjects that are screaming out for attention. Can you imagine a shelf full of brightly coloured Furies, Demons, Harts and Bulldogs, not to mention F3Fs etc. Duncan B 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairystick Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 19 hours ago, Norman said: Blimey ! i wonder what the price will be ? Presumably close to the GDP of a small island nation somewhere. An interesting development indeed, but will appeal to only a few modelers who will have the ability to display it somewhere. Hopefully it is a sign that Peter Jackson may be getting on with the movie remake (he has the props built for the movie and in storage - according to the gossip).

ABeck Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 The most interisting thing is what DID NOT happen: 1. Still no French WWI model by WNW 2 .No step into the post WW I era (1920s) with so many beautiful planes 3. Still no 1/48 Lanc on the horizon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlCZ Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 What ? ANOTHER LANCASTER ? WHY ? I probably go to HK; i can't wait another year... and Dambuster in 1/32 is relative boring subject. Famous operation - but this is all. Standard night bomber was better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invidia Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 A lanc, very nice!! building my first WNW at the mo, a sopwith dolphin, which is lovely, i was hopeing they would expand into post ww1 aircraft, a bulldog/fury/siskin in 1/32 and at that quality would be lovely, and afordable. shame! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
