It’s really a nice model. Probably the best 1/32 kit HK has produced. About half done. Aftermarket starting to catch up. Almost the exact size of the Zoukei-Mura 1/32 Uhu. No major fit problems so far.
G'day Phil, Thanks so much for this review. It's a relief too as I purchased this kit about 2 months ago and haven't got 'round to taking a peek. Like you, I was disappointed when I saw the kits of mates who had shelled out more money than I had at the time for the big Lancasters. Down here in Oz, the 1/32 Lancs are still obscenely expensive, although, I've only recently seen the first, small price reductions by a couple of suppliers so, I may end up with one, eventually. How can HKM do such beautiful surface detail yet others can't, or don't bother? Dead right about Tamiya. They've hit a brick wall with innovation. It's crazy because they, of all companies, can afford the R&D needed to punch out top of the line 'tiny' details, that really make a huge difference. The New Zealand spin off from former Wingnut Wings staff, 'Kotare', have truly done an outstanding job with their 1/32 Spit. Word is they are planning more Spits and various other model subjects, not too far away. It's truly an exciting time as far as aircraft kits are concerned. I don't keep a close watch on other model types but I'm sure with the gradual development of 3D-style printing techniques, plastic model technology is due for a major 'revolution' using, maybe, the best of both worlds. Thanks again, Phil. Always a pleasure to see your videos. I must apologise for letting my membership lapse but I'm a pensioner now and with postage/exchange rates they way they are; I simply had to cut costs somewhere. For instance, I can no longer absorb the truly insane US postal charges any more; ending long associations with some great suppliers who had become friends. But that's the way it goes. Cheers, and all the best. Bill H.

This is the standard all quality kit makers should be at.
Thanks for the review Phil, I would love to see this in 1/48 scale as well, 32nd is just a little too big for my display cases.
nice kit looks like HK is going the Zoukei-Mura way, I love detail. This is a candidate for cut-away sections. 🤔

I would love to see a 32nd vs quarter scale comparison
