airfix A09007 Avro Lancaster B.III (Special) The Dambusters 1:72 Expected: June 2018

On the night of 16/17th May 1943, a specially formed squadron (617) conducted a daring and audacious strategic raid on German dams serving the industrial Ruhr valley.

 

Codenamed Operation Chastise the raid involved flying nineteen specially modified Avro Lancaster bombers at low level across hostile territory to deliver their payloads of unique bouncing bombs that in theory, skipped across the dam waters, and would explode at a set depth to create such force as to breech the dams.

 

The Dambusters as they became famously known afterwards, breeched two of the target dams, the Möhne and Eder, losing ten of the nineteen crews that set off, to defensive gun fire and ground collisions. The raid provided a massive morale boost for the British people and Wing Commander Guy Gibson, who was later awarded a VC for gallantry, became a national hero.

I’m in charge of VF girl planning.

VARIABLE Fighter Girls, which was released before GW, is the first version of VF – 31J Siegfried, but thanks to a lot of customers, it has become a big hit product. Everyone who waited until the launch in the long development period. Thank you for your purchase.

 

On Twitter, Youtube, etc, we have assembled quickly, painting examples etc. We are also looking at examples at the Shizuoka Hobby Show, and I am excited as a planner as well.

 

Well, the second release that was announced at such a hobby show place

Macross Fifth Anniversary Anniversary VF Girl Appears!

In addition to the announcement of the hobby show here, a special site was also opened.

Click on the banner for details! We are currently accepting reservations now.

 

Hair style and hair color changed together with 35th anniversary color. And not only that, addition of parts, review of the design, renovation is included. Speaking of important checkpoints in particular,

It is a change of the joint part of the back.

This is the first bullet and removed from the hip from the hip as a separate part, and made a structure that allows you to twist your waist again at Batroid.

Although the cylinder of the hip was also dissatisfied personally also from the beginning, due to the design strength concern, it is difficult to make final judgment such as holding power etc. if there is nothing that was resin-molded and assembled in fact It began to cry. On the data, mock is not measurable risk measurable. The mold was also made and it became a form close to the product, so the weight of the whole was found out, and the result that it seemed to be problematic in terms of holding power and strength became so it became possible to challenge this time.

Hip line importance.

To allow sitting down by removing the waist parts. The bending angle of the knee is also deeper with the renovation of the back of the thigh.

This further broadened the range of posing.

We also make small modifications to existing parts.

Polar wrist … I am improving by stopping.

It is difficult to correct the neck part of the ankle ball, but measures strength in the range that can be done.

Parts that hold the movable axis of the wing

Fixed the fact that the fitting strength is a little insufficient and the parts are easy to come off in proportion to something interfering at the time of transformation.

Although it is such a place …

And it is a seal!

Macross … The design of Valkyrie has to correspond with honest seals. Even though I knew the reasoning, it was extremely difficult to actually make the seal, as far as I could not have experienced with Aoshima. It is a reflection point just because there was no time.

However, I think that it is likely to be able to take countermeasures in the second bullet, so I think that you can raise the quality better than the first bullet.

 

As you can see, the prospects for the Macross series with the first round of rudiments are not limited to VF – 31 and I’d like to keep an eye out!

Thank you very much for your purchase of the second bullet!
