Justin,
Thx!
I think I get it now!
The B should have had a clear nose and it doesn't.
Too bad as the "look" with the clear nose is just beautiful.
Lets hope they realize their error and release a correct B model eventually.
I ordered both of them.
Initially, I was unable to get the FB, but curiously I received it first.
I must admit that I love these planes and models but I'm not familiar with "all types, of all types".
That is where the forum helps a lot.
I must mention that when I first got the Lancaster out of the box I found it smaller than I expected. The reason of course is the many hours I spent looking at a 1/48 Lancaster DamBuster Tamiya model that I made probably close to 30 years ago!
WOW just writing "30 years ago" blows my mind!
It was one of the best models I ever made.
But must admit that 1/72 is a lot more manageable.
My favorite Mosquito was a 1/32 Revell model which I painted in a crazy "tones of blue" camo. I loved those huge 1/32 models, had them all, and stored them in a place that ensured their survival until recently. They weren't the greatest of models ( compared to Tamiya) but the variety was great. One that I kept postponing, and never built, is one that Ozz has mentioned here several times, the Beaufighter. I imagine all those models are still around being re-releases, although compared to recent vintage 1/48 models they are in the 'stone age' in terms of detail.
Another one of my favorite models was a P-51 Monogram model that had working gear by turning a knob under the wings and bombs would drop pushing two small levers... incredible!
Let me stop this rambling of the model memories of my youth!!
Thanks again Justin!
One more question though, on the Sutherland by Corgi, what scale is it? Is thast the one that has a seam running along the side of the fuselage?
Love the look of the Sutherland with the white undersides and camo on top...
Take care
