Hi Ozz, glad you like the Lanc.!! I'm really amazed this didn't create more of a stir on these forums when it was released, usually we see OTT praise for every diecast new release, yet in this case a model that really justifies a lot of praise seems to have passed largely unnoticed.

One point about the CDC 1/48 RAF Harrier GR7 models, none of these have cannon packs. This is very untypical, the cannon packs are external ordinance and removeable, but they are basically a standard fit so not to have them looks wrong. The USMC AV8B models have the cannon packs, maybe because the RAF and the USMC use different gun packs they decided to economise?
