HK Models 1:32 Lancaster accesories

[yknu]

Hi 

just got the HK Models beautiful Lanc. Interested to know, what is the status of the accessories for this like fabric seat belts, dash boards, Instrument panels, barrels, wheels, Bomb sight, H2S radar etc..?

[Dave J]

Airscale does an upgrade kit for the panel

https://www.airscale.co.uk/store.php#!/1-32-Scale-Avro-Lancaster-B-Mk-1/p/121136238/category=16104112

and Master has a Barrel set too

[James H]

Eduard will have some sets out in the near future.

One would have hoped that with the price of the kit there would have been no need for  'after-market' but I will welcome some of the stuff such as the brass gun barrels

[Clunkmeister]

Compared to HK’s previous releases, the Lanc is simply stunning. I always use fabric seatbelts, brass gun barrels so it’s expected and I’m not in the least bit concerned.

Now, the Airscale panel is simply a gorgeous upgrade over any OOB kit offering I’ve ever seen and Eduard PE is a simple personal choice on how far your AMS has progressed. How much work and pain do you want to deal with for a very minor gain in detail?

I never open up my models, so engines and such are never a concern to me. I’m extremely happy with my kit. 

Well Done, HK!

[James H]

You will clearly see the IP through the canopy, so an upgrade to that is a good place to start.

As I am new to this scale, but not the Lancaster, where can one obtain Airscale stuff please ??

You can get Airscale directly from their website or some online retailers such as Hannants and Sprue Brothers carry them as well.

The kit is as complete as it gets with photo etch safetybelts. Then again the modeller is always free to upgrade as he/she pleases. The aftermarket will always oblige.

We never had it so good.

I shall grab the set after Xmas.

This will go on my "must have" list, along with the B-24 and the HKM B-25. Luckily we are past the age of wanting to make babies, because my wife will most certainly take a knife to some sensitive areas.

Same here, I just worked out a deal to buy a B-24 to pick up tomorrow.

I just dragged a 1/200 HMS Hood into the house. Do the math.

well, I just bought my wife a convertible VW Beetle for Christmas, so she wont say much about the new models I bought. I just need to protect the jewels for a few more days.

Zero to 60 in about two and a half hours.  

Three if you’re fighting a headwind.

I don't know if I can say I've ever seen one of those in real life.

 

Good thing about VWs -- like model kits, there is a huge aftermarket and I wasted no time getting an improved sway bar for the front end.

They were popular, but rusted on the showroom floor. They even made a rampside pickup. Goofiness abounded.

I’m not sure it’ll really NEED all that much...

a bit in the pit perhaps, but not much more
