Looks a fabulous kit, with amazing detail straight out of the box, I love that last photo looking forward through the bomb aimer's position. Would love to get hold of the later 'G' version and do a metal foil job on it.

I agree Tom, I watched one on Ebay earlier in the year and it went for a decent sum then but sure to become rarer after Verlindens' sad demise and with that comes a higher price!? How fabulous would that look if it was built into the waist gunner's position on the HK Models kit and was visible through the open windows? Awesome!!

Just right for making a great model even better Tom, though nice as the B-17 is their soon to be released Lancaster will always beat it and it'll be interesting to see how many aftermarket parts become available for the Lanc. That'll be a once in a lifetime build for most people I think, but what a model it will make?!

"Soon to be released" Lancaster - who's release seems to have come to a halt 
No update for a few months and other kits being rollout ahead of it that were talked about way after the Lanc, we could yet be even longer in waiting for this beast to appear

Oooh!! I've never seen that crew set before, that looks very cool. Mind you the price is just for the figures, so would need a 1:35 jeep to be added? All the same, they're very nice.
