The Hasegawa Lancaster isn't as detailed as the Revell one but it's a better build.  Plus Hasegawa had tooled for all the BI/BIII variants and there are spare bits for certain types on the sprues (the Village Inn AGL gizmo, ASR camera fairing and tropical filters).  And if you're lucky, you can get them for about £20 on ebay.  I bought a fair few about a year or so back.

Boycotting Hasegawa kits sadly won't have much of an impact.  It's the importers who are doing the gouging, not to mention the duty too.

Fair comment. I haven't actually bought any of the Hasegawa Lancasters so, I'm not in a position to comment on whether they are a better build or not. While I accept they have all the options you mention, that doesn't ( in my view anyway) justify the price. However, again, that is down to the individual whether they are worth it or not.

Looking forward to the 1/72 EA-18G (in a regular "white" boxing) and the 1/48 F-104 CCV!  :party:

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Kewl!  We need an eggplane T-50 for it to go up against in a dogfight (cockfight???) double!
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Hasegawa are imported by Amerang which is part of Modelzone......i have looked at work at whats available to us and this one is not on the list, so don't expect to see it in the UK soon
Everything looks better with the addition of British Roundels!

I wouldn't even bother looking for this in UK shops, to be honest - I'd go straight to HLj or 1999.co.jp. This kind of thing is never imported. Same goes for Hase's Macross Valkyrie range and their Ma.K. stuff.

What a beauty! :wub: :wub: :wub: Reminds me of a Ryusei with a twin tail...

Apart from the tail & the low wing it's very close to the Fairey Spearfish.

But it will probably be cheaper to buy the real thing........  :-\
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I think the CCV has been out before or at leaset their F-104 came with the parts to make it.
