Finn Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Do a Google image search for: Avro Lancaster blueprint an engineering drawing of the forward fuselage, side and top, will come up. Look for worthpoint in the title. Jari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooseSeal Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Hey guys! Would anyone who has the kit and isn't building the 'S for Sugar' markings mind sending me the decal for the big starboard 'S'? More than happy to pay for it and pay for postage, of course. I *might* have put a big finger on mine while it was wet during the maneuvering of this rather large beast and it may or may not have ended up looking like tagliatelle stuck to my fingertip... If anyone can help out, give me a message! Thanks! 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisov Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Just tried to search for Lancaster Worthpoint as suggested above. Seems to be an ebay thing and want your money and details first. Anyone got a better result? Or what is the considered opinion now the pkastic is out regarding the canopy and the rest of the model please? MITA.

WV908 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Still no aftermarket paddle blade props for this. Seems very odd. Cheers, WV908 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCZ Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 This is good "nitpicking". On modeling news or Polish model web are "Lanc" build and look as Lancaster. I don't see inaccuracy. Life is too short a make stress with not exist problems... But still not Grand Slam /Tallboy special or Dambuster. In 1/32 have Specials in one box... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elger Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I love nitpicking about details and shapes as the next member, and I would be really interested if part X of model kit Y is slightly off, but I think we should have some evidence (comparison kit parts to scale drawings, real-world measurements, and to some extent photos) before speculating about it further. So far, I have seen no evidence that there is anything wrong with the dimensions of the canopy of the HK Lancaster. If something does come up, I'd be most interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If no-one can supply the decal, try making a mask or having one made. HTH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersonic Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Does anyone know if there will be a later release with a Dambuster version? Hans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hans Dambuster seems logical, since they did it in 1/32 but only HK know for sure and they aren’t telling so far. A release with the bulged bomb bay for the Tallboy and 12000lb HC bombs would be nice too, since Tamiya didn’t do those versions either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine had a slight fracture running down where the pilot would look out of, not a huge one but a bit irritating given its prominent position. I asked for a replacement, which arrived today.... and behold the exact same fracture in the exact same place. So I'm wondering if this is a manufacturing issue and they're all the same, or if I should ask for yet another replacement. It’s too squat, which is a shame. If the pilots seat is correct and at the right height it shouldn’t fit. Have a look on YouTube (Nigel’s Modelling Bench). He’s done a fix by merging parts of the HK and Tamiya canopies!

If something does come up, I'd be most interested The clear parts are way too shallow: Nigel (below) combined a Tamiya Lancaster main clear part with the HK top or something like that, then gave up on Video 13: The four cowl fronts should be the same, but HK made them completely different from inners to outers... Brilliant. Epic face palm at 39:22 below (he never came back to it since): The four twin exhausts are drastically different in length from inners to outers: Again they should all be the same...: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SprueMan Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 His comments don't make me want to buy the kit at all. Poor guy. How is the old Tamiya kit then? Would be a viable option instead? (not a dambuster version, I know...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagdtiger1 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 It seems like they're going to be releasing the Grand Slam version in 48th as well. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/hk-models-01f007-avro-lancaster-b-mki--1508967 Can't find anything on HK's FB page or website regarding it though.
