    An impressive lump 72cm wing and 98cm fuselage......

    I'm still holding out for the Lancaster though.

        No way could i afford the £180 asking price and also i have nowhere to put it once built. I personally think the company would shilft alot more units if they made a new decent 1/48 version of it.

        But i'm still waiting for the Lancaster as well lol

          Very nice, a very big kit and a very very large price tag. No not for me nowhere to put it when built.

                    I would love to build one even though it is the cost of about of the 3 kits I normally buy. But - by way of time spent on the build relative to the cost I suspect it would not work out more expensive. It would be worth it.... You need a lot of space for it and even with my house I cannot accommodate it. :emo10: If I could find the space though, I would wait for their Lancaster instead.

                        Jeez! One for the enthusiasts then. That's too rich for me.

                        If I'm honest I might contemplate the Lancaster, even at that sort of price. I'd have to cook up an elaborate cover story to get it past SWMBO.

                        Cheers
