Always was hoping for a re-tool of the 1/72 Airfix kit, but this might be the answer. Probably a lot more to spend, but a lot more details.

It has a 100cm wingspan, so make sure you have room to display it.

Don’t forget that the wings can be folded as per the real aircraft.

Had a feeling this one was coming one of these days. This plus the Lanc, they sure have their hands full next year!

Hi all

It does look gorgeous!

I've got to agree with Shell that it's no fun to have the wings folded to save space - and I reckon if you can afford the kit, you'll be able to make room to display it in all its glory. But it also makes me realise that it will be an impressive bit of model engineering to have a wingspan like that in 1:32 that doesn't sag under its own weight.

All the best

Gorgeous!!...i thik the best way to "save" space is with a diorama ,one wing open and the other closed or half closed with mechanics pushing the wing...

I have avoided the WNW big bombers but I do fancy this, especially have completed one of their Sopwith Pups recently
