It still shows them on the website.
What makes you think they removed them? It makes no sense. It would require the fret to be re-designed for the sake of changing that.
They have altered the fret. All you get now are the various panels, transfers and associated acetate. The text on Hannants and the Airscale site reads “holes and slots are cut for levers and switches (not supplied)”.

Hi James, not being a Lancaster affishinato, what is the round grey part that is sitting on the little part of photo etch that bends down through the opening in the IP? Is that a compass and is it a part from the kit? It didn't come in my Airscale kit.
Airscale have reduced what they give you for the Lancaster cockpit now. What’s there looks great but the levers and so on have gone. I have written to them asking why.

Nige, you must have a camera focused on me as I'm just about to fit mine !! Thanks for the tip
Nigel, will that also apply to the Eduard IP? I bought that one as the Airscale one doesn’t have any levers with it.

Has anyone noticed the engineers seat in the kit? It looks nothing like the original B,1 seat but does pretty much look like the seat in Just Jane?
Does anyone know whats going on here.. is the seat right or wrong in the kit??
It’s definitely wrong for a Mk1/lll, Nigel. It should be similar to the one in the Tamiya kit, which of course has its own shortcomings!

Here is a nice image borrowed from Google, of the real thing.. for information only..
Here are the kit flaps... with missing holes as pointed out by FME erk..
I guess this will make people want Eduard to step in even more?? Failing that, make some replacement strips and carve the kit plastic away. Failing that, build the model flaps up? Not sure if that would be accurate though?
The Eduard flap set for this kit is £75.00!!

I got one of these recently and for me the only disappointment is that the instrument panel is for an E, not a C. Also, the dials are blank on the panel and there are no dials on the decal sheet. Fisher do a lovely resin set but it is cost prohibitive.

Very nice.
-
Hopefully not as the plastic is very forgiving. The problem is that the affected sprue is not quite square so if it is put in the box incorrectly the sprue bends and the box becomes stretched.

Wingnut Wings Ship's Camel and, although perhaps not appropriate here, Airfix 1/180 HMS Prince. Lovely.

It could have something to do with the size of the box. The sprues are a very tight fit.

I bought one yesterday. Lovely.

Many thanks for this Peter, expect an order from me soon for a set of these along with a 1/32 set for another kit I have just bought. I like your idea regarding the instrument bodies but I have a horrible feeling that the IP won't fit with those on without major work to the firewall and the fuel tank.

Hi Carl, it hasn’t been changed, the picture and text on the Hannants website where I got my information from are incorrect. I understand that they have been asked to update the details on their site with the correct picture.
