Ah, shall I, won’t I, what will I do with it once it’s built?…….

Well Barry ive an idea an yes i know you will think ive gone off my trolly an yes its gonna be big when built so my idea is cant you make the plane so that it unclips the wings an tails an make the props fitted with metal rods which just push into the engine mounts so they can be taken in an out that just leaves the fusealarge that only 9 bits so that the whole plane can be laid togeather in a box for storeage an when you want to look at it just undo the box an take out the plane bits an just reclip it togeather again just like my HMS TIGER build as that all unscrews as its got to be like that for serviceing an removeable bits so i can dust it all off an just think of the challegne in doin this but if it was me buying this that what i would do SO STOREAGE SPACE SORTED

I understand that the wings might unclip and if that’s the case then that is all I need to worry about. So, yes, maybe it’s a goer….

HI Barry well i think its possible as you can buy very small screws that could be fited in counter sunk so not to be visable but they would hold the wings an such in place an the all you have to do when you want to strip it down is undo the tiny screws an valaay as remember the real plane came to bits but yes thats another story

I knew this kit would eventually be released. It was simply too far down the line to abandon. Looks awesome ‘in the plastic’ and I’ll definitely be purchasing.
Great news

Cheers

Edit: Sorry, the Stug’s by Das Werk. Doh!

I'm waiting for price confirmation but there is talk of anywhere from £500 to £800, I've already pre-sold one, he doesn't matter how much it is, it's way over my budget.

[tr1ckey66]

£500 would be the top of my budget (and I think that’s at least £100 too much). £800 is simply ridiculous and, at that price, I’ll pass.
I have the HK kit anyway. I loved the kit (having seen the test shot at Telford) but not that much
We will see.

Here's how it is over here Germany at the moment. Final details are not set in stone yet and approximate release date is March 2022,



The bad side is of course the price......A bit rich I would say, not to mention I would need a new apartment to display it.......................

[peterairfix]

I would like to have one but a number of things put me right off the price for one and there's the size having built the b17 in card at scale of 1/33 it is big very very big.

[tr1ckey66]

That price equates to roughly £515. Mmmmmmm :thinking:

A 1:32 Lancaster, I would get bored. I realise that statement sounds a bit daft, but I like to see the end result. A Lancaster in that scale would take me forever to build.

I don’t think it’s a daft statement, we all get our own thing out of the hobby. I don’t mind long builds but I do understand the desire to see results quicker.
And I’m under no illusion, to do this kit justice will take time.
