And if sales drop off halfway through, they'll just stop publishing it. Hundreds of half-finished lancasters turning up at the landfill ;D ;D

Seen the ad aswell over the past week, always wondered how many mags you would have had to buy to get the completed model, jist a wee bit pricey :-X

Oh and just could'nt handle waiting week's and week's to get it finished, just does'nt appeal to me  :y

I've seen vintage wooden gliders that you can jump in and fly for similar money. Might take some work to make it look like a Lancaster, I suppose, if that's important. :-/

I have just subcribed to the lanc bomber model, and to be honest the cost is not a consideration to me it is the making of it that i am interested in. I have got just 15 more issues of the bismarck to get and that was 144 parts at £4.99 plus binders. total=£718.56. Bargain.
