Tried using the search function to find a relevant thread but it didn’t work so had to start afresh.
Sir Peter Jackson’s Wingnut Wings model company who have previously offered only WW1 subjects in 1/32nd scale have just announced a 1/32nd scale Dambusters Lancaster. Wonder if there is any tie in to a film.

I know he has more money than God, but must have cost a pretty penny to have ten (? if the rumours are correct) constructed nearly 10 years ago then store them since with no funding forthcoming…? also whats happened to Masters of the Air….?

The FSM Lanc assembeled at Hood looked pretty good ( in the few photos released ) . I recall a number were rumoured to have been created in China, and presumably are still around.

I suspect with the film now on the shelf (and not likely to procede anytime soon due to lack of funding) they have decided to release the obvious tie-in Lancaster kit to at least recoup the outlay on that.
And if anyone wants to buy a 1:1 scale Lancaster model, maybe an enquiry should be made to Weta…..

Will the kit come with a 1/32 labrador? :rolleyes:
If not, it would make a nice resin accessory.

I imagine its based on all the research they’ve done for the film, so the 3D model was already done.. so send it through the pipeline to get it suitable for injection molding.
Incredible there will be two manufacturers producing 1/32 Lancasters now.
