Great !!
According to John Snyder, I was pre-order #1 for the full set, so I should be able to sense it winging its' way toward me ... better go clear some bench space ...

YES !!!

Arrived today !!! I got the full set of four (interior, exterior, bomb bay, and flaps).

Interior is really super with complete stations for all crew and turrets, and even the toilet. Of course, unless you have a visible Lanc, much of it will be hidden -- a similar problem I had with WEM's Sunderland PE set(s).

Exterior is similar to the Eduard set, but advantage is that it will work on either Airfix or Hasegawa. Same can be said for the Bomb Bay & Flaps, although I didn't put a lot of time into comparing them.

I think the WEM set will be my base set and I'll fill with a little Eduard stuff. Of course I've also go the new CMK resin sets to consider.

Anyway, the PE sets really look good -- and as usual, the WEM instruction sheets are just superb !!!
