You wont be doing the HKM 32 scale Lanc supposed to be out in November then?????

I am tempted but it is very expensive and the problem remains......where on earth do you put the completed model?

Yes, it is very tempting that one - but it does come with a wall bracket (like the B17) to help fix it to the wall making the display a lot more practical. In have a big bench so build space is not an issue though it still would not be easy. I keep looking at my walls and thinking how much better a big Lanc would be than wallpaper or plain boring old paint.... I have managed to resist the B17 but will I be able to hold out against this other monster in November - I wonder....

So right Steve. Building a Lansander & my first & last 1/32. They are enormous.

Well, a Lancaster or B-17 will be very large by any standards. A 100' plus wingspan translates into..... errrrr........a lot of centimetres.

"Normal" 1/32 scale fighters are not unfeasibly large and can easily be made on the average table that most of us have serving as a workbench. Even medium bombers like the Revell Ju 88 and He 111 are quite manageable.

It's a scale I like though I do dabble in 1/72. Oddly I rarely build 1/48, the last one was a Sea Fury, years ago, and that was for someone else!

Thats funny Laurie - I was looking at a completed 1/72 in Rye the other day and thought how tiny it looks!!!!

I suppose it is what we get used to.

I thought the Bf109 was a small aircraft while building it in 1/32 and, sat side by side with a FW190 and near a P51, it still looks small to me!!!

Although a 1/32 Lanc would be a fantastic piece, I am still struggling with the idea of one in 1/48. I could probably fine room for one, but I must admit I am more tempted with the new 1/72 scale ones from Airfix.
