Smart move if you're designing a 1/24 kit, to choose a subject with folding wings.  Should broaden the market for them a bit.

I was going to say, jokingly, that an HP o/400 would be a good idea and then spotted that Wingnut Wings have just announced that they are doing one in 1/32...

Yes, going to be a very expensive year if you're into any of these kits. We have 1/32 B17's, Lanc's and from wnW their own 1/32 Dambuster Lancaster and B. III's.

One of my friends bought a 1/32 Lancaster. Turned out to be a somewhat bigger project than he anticipated. He is not yet done rebuilding the garage to make room for it.
