1/32 Lancaster

[AndyArgent.]

i am not into wingy things but if this comes out then i have to have it.From Hong Kong models . See it on Hannants.

[danb.]

That will be epic Andy any ideas on what the wingspan would be? cant wait to see this being built by you buddy.

[bullardino]

Plenty of space at home, I suppose... I wouldn't have the space even for the box of that monster...

[AndyArgent.]

Dan i think the wingspan is near on a metre and the length is two foot. Luigi i might have room for the box? as for the built aircraft do you remember the ones hanging from your cieling,uuummm might be the only option.

I don't think I even have a ceiling big enough to hold it

Not sure,offhand...but I think my B36 is bigger than that!!! and that's 1/72...
Not sure I could justify the potential cost of one of these,IF they get round to bringing it out!!!

[AndyArgent.]

I would love to do a dio with this beast.

[deafpanzer]

It will be so huge that you will have to kick one of your kids out of the house to make room... I built one when I was very young I think it was 1/48 and it was still huge.

[M1Carbine]

HOLY POOP!

First the HK B17, now this

Who the heck has go room for these. I mean you need a seperate house to display just one of them, now a second in 1/32.

Ok yes yes yes I want one too but GEEZ!

Yep, looks like you'll have to run a tab for paint on this one...

Saw a real one at the local air show a few years back. Watching this thing fly was something else.

[bbd468]

Oh man...that things gonna be HUGE! I wanna see you build that Andy, but where you gonna put it? That thing will need a Hanger! ;D

38.25"? Day-um that's big.

Dave,I've had the pleasure of seeing the BBMF Lancaster flying a few times over the years...Always gets my blood pumping..

[bbd468]

That is a beautiful warbird CB!

Gary....LOADS more flying pics where they came from fella!!! ..Must load em all,and post in the Library,eh?

[modelfreak72]

Chris PLEASE DO!!!!! We don't have many Airshows like that on this side of the pond. And when they do happen, it's all our wwii stuff, which is a good thing, but being able to see British and German stuff in the air would truly be a treat! ;D

Where there's a will there's a way! I think we'd all find room for either the 17 or the Lank! But with this new addition I'm beginning to worry that they might not try and put out a B-29.!

[hasenpfeffer]

Ha! Holding out for a 1/32 B-52... Chris, yep, amazing to see. I live in MI and try to make it to the Thunder Over Michigan show as often as possible. I'll be able to supplement your pics quite well...

[modelfreak72]

Holding out for a 32 B-52??!!! I think we have a mad man in our midst!LOL!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

[hasenpfeffer]

LOL, of course, I jest... My workbench couldn't accommodate something that size. I remember building a 1/72 scale one way back, and that was plenty big.

[hasenpfeffer]

Here ya go... a few pics the Lanc that I saw ~ 5 years ago.





I remember being a little disappointed since they only took off, circled the airfield twice and then headed for home. It was still very moving to see and hear this. Would've appreciated a couple passes closer to the field for some better in flight shots. Oh well, maybe next time.

[Mence]

What a beauty.

Dave....I believe that is the one that used to operate out of Canada,before it was grounded,last year I believe.Main Wingspar is shot away,and they're not sure if it can get sorted,last I read!!

And sell one or both of your kidneys... Between the 1/32 B17 and the Lancaster. Not to mention the 1/32 Gotha that's already out....my wallet is going to take some very serious hits this year.
