I looked over the Revell instructions and they still goofed up on the tailwheel assembly so watch out when you get to that bit. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 It's Year of the Rat according to the Lunar Calender but in my case I think Year of the Lancaster is more appropriate. I won the WNW Lanc from Ernie in the Christmas raffle here on LSM and I ended up winning the HK one in the anniversary GB raffle on LSP! My wife wants to know where I'm going to put them once they're done. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the HKM Dambuster Lanc ... the kites were new from the factory when modified for Chastise - or at least thats what all my information says ... so I wanted a clean skin with no panel warping. I decided to hold of on the standard bomber Lanc purchase until the WNW kit hits the stores ... I want to see what in-box reviews of the retail plastic look like of that warped skin before I pull the trigger ... also the price comparison will com into calculations ... The WNW kit might justify a $50-$100 AUD differential ... but a $100-$200 one?? ... yeah ... wait and see I think! ... Once I get that bird sorted out, my next target will be a Chastise Bomb and trolley from Graham at Iconicair - with a tractor ... the HKM kit part looks a little dodgy to me.

They got their order in sometime 1st week of January ... Ran out of one of the new Skyraiders as it went to stock - due to backorders I believe ... apparently their gear is becoming so popular that Metros needs to expand their orders for the next run ... Frontline have theirs in stock now. I have my 2 Skyraiders (SWS-15 & 16) and a Trumpy A-4E inbound from them and due to arrive any day.

Wumm Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Thanks Rog, I suppose it depends largely on when the kits are available for shipping and the timing of the ordering. Taking advantage of Freight options and exchange rates also helps I guess. $264 is a little spendy, but it's in the vicinity. When you consider the U.S. price of $140 that Volks or Sprue are listing, factor in the exchange rate and two sets of Tax for the Importer and the end user to pay, and it comes back to $250 Au. BNA will probably be a little cheaper; but of course they're not also running a Bricks and Mortar store like Metro and Frontline are. S 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 30, 2020 Administrators Share Posted January 30, 2020 I just found my true Grail Kit. One I had pretty much given up hope of ever finding, yet here it is, the truly amazing, mind blowing, and stunningly arse end-ugly C-7 Caribou. No, it’s not an LSM per se, but it’s the largest model of it available anywhere. I’ve been looking for literally years, and finally, after a tip from a good friend, I snagged it off Ebay Australia and I got it today. To say I'm psyched would be an understatement. This is a vac kit with all resin details included as well, and a full book of RAAF decals, enough to recreate one of every Caribou operated by the RAAF. Anyone who's seen one of these perform is awed by what it can do, and it's bigger brother the Buffalo, is even crazier. Take off and land in 650 feet at full gross.... 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus, my PLAN is to drop the ramp. most that have been built were done that way as well. That way, if I don't use enough noseweight, a 1/32 pallet or two of "freight" will fix that proble. Also, I'd really love to drop those huge flaps. It's been done a few times as well.... I expect it'll be a bit more of a chore 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
