The Big One - literally! - and the release that's set the modelling world alight as Wingnut Wings move onto WW2 subjects. Richard Alexander has sent details of Wingnut Wings' astounding new 1:32 Lancasters that Michael Satin announced in the Forum recently, ending speculation that they are based on work done for the Dambusters movie project.

Hi,

We are pleased to announce our new Avro Lancaster models which are expected to be released late in 2019.

Over 8 years of research, design and tooling has gone into these models… so far! Features include realistic surface detail with stressed skin effect, overlapping panels and raised rivets. WWII era European theatre radiators & nacelle intakes. WWII era fabric covered elevators. Removable outer wing sections to help with display space.

Test shots will be on display at Scale Model World and, if you’re interested, you can also see some 3D CAD renders and test shot images on our website.

In response to some frequently asked questions from people newly interested in Wingnut Wings; please note that this is entirely 100% a Wingnut Wings model and shares nothing with any computer modelling and/or scanning carried out by Weta Digital etc for Peter Jackson’s Dambusters movie project (which “remains in development”). In any case, wire frame CGI movie models are completely unsuitable for creating scale model kitsets.

Price is still to be confirmed, but we are doing what we can to keep it as low as possible and hope it will only be slightly more than 32801 Felixstowe F.2a & Hansa-Brandenburg W.29 "The Duellists". Interestingly, Bryan Wall (pictured) was the lead Product Designer/3D Modeller for our Avro Lancaster project which he finished modelling well before starting work on the Halberstadt Cl.II mentioned above. He has also since completed another couple of new (WW1) models that we’re not quite ready to reveal just yet.
