Hi Antoni

I think just a workbench and spray-booth would be a start - because neither of my existing ones would be anywhere near big enough!

What a beauty!

All the best

I didn't, in the end, go for the B-17 but this is a must have.

It's nice someone is producing these. There is a big & growing market for 1/32nd scale planes.

This one I might just have to purchase. Definitely a nicer looking aircraft than the B-17.

Andy, divorce papers? What spouse would not want to have an Avro Lancaster in the garage? Well, maybe not. Would like to have one of these though. Could almost get in it and fly around.

I really appreciate that these are being made, but do wish that someone would do some new 1/48th kits.

Cheers Rob.

Please keep these big 1/32nd birds coming! Would love to see a 32nd HU-16 Albatross as well as a 32nd B-47 Stratojet and a C-123! I know they'd be big, but I'd happilly find the room! They could design them like their B-17 so the wings could be removed for storage.
