I am curious about the bottom left hand message  . . .  'Replacement parts info '  does that mean they are to provide spares ????

[krow113]

shouldn't be too hard, no rigging!

[Bomber_County]

True no rigging but when you have very little money due furlough etc ............it’s really not an option...........

[GazzaS]

Correct me if I'm wrong...  but didn't these kits all have shape issues up front?

[Bomber_County]

Thought that was the 32nd scale ones but you maybe right.......when they retooled for 48th it was reviewed......I think...

[Bomber_County]

Thanks Harv, you’re to kind.........I have enough in the stash for at least 5 years....

I'd like a couple of 48th Lancasters if they do produce a scale down version  . . .

That would be good, apparently the old Tamiya Lanc is good but it’s 45years old now (1975).........

I think I got my first one around 1977 . . . .

A more recent addition

I would have been 4 years old so definitely wasn't on my radar then. I've only ever managed to build a single Lanc and that was the old Revell 1/72 Dambusters one.

'75 - '76 for this classic gem:

And I've done a TON of work on one:

And its in transitional stagnation like A Gotha.
