Re: the oil canning/stressed metal effect:

For decades now, I have been waiting and longing for the first model to come with a serious implementation of this holy grail of a feature (as opposed to something that looks more like a by-product of the molding process as with the Airfix 1:24 Hellcat).

Seems like the wait is over.

I think I will buy one just to celebrate this historic occasion - in spite of the odd scale.

Thank you, Border Model, for a move that hopefully sets a standard. In light of the sometimes heated discussions sparked by the issue of panel lines, I don't think modellers will accept anything less now that proof exists it can be done.

BTW, if you think the effect is overdone - have a quick internet search for "Tempelhof DC-4" 😉.

Oh wow! This is a great addition. Such an interesting aircraft! Potentially nice oil-canning in the fuselage too, it seems.

Uuugggg.... so they have a Lancaster at 1:32, but then go and release this in 1:35. Yes I know the difference is minuscule and 99% of people won't notice, but still. The bomber series has been established at 1:32, just stick to it.

I thought about the dio idea, but then couldn’t think of a time when armor would be near aircraft. I can’t recall a picture of armor in close proximity to aircraft, except, perhaps passing a crashed airframe. So not sure it matters. Please link a pic if you have any.
