I want one but £100 plus might put me off !

You buy one, then Airfix or ICM release one for less the half the price!

It does look pretty nice though and a worthy improvement over the old Tamiya kit. I like the wing structure moulded with the engine nacelles but would have liked to see some more of the cockpit detail. Will I get one? Probably not.

Looks rather good overall, and possibly better than their 1/32nd scale kit. Pleasantly surprised at the price of £75 in the UK, which compares very well with the old Tamiya kit.
I'd quite like one, and could be tempted - but I'd need to invest ££££s in a bigger house, to find room to display it !!!

Just been looking around some suppliers, and that price of £75 for the Lanc in the UK is a bit off.
Cheapest I've seen, on special offer, pre-order only, is £105, with the average price being £115.

£75 sounds a lot better, if they come in at that price i may be tempted

 

[Airframes]

Yes, I could be tempted at £75 ( about the current price of the old Tamiya kit ), and maybe even at £105.
I have the original Tamiya kit, as opposed to the up-dated version , but both need some work just to correct the inaccuracies, and lots more work to add visible internal detail.
I'll wait and see if any better special offers come up.
