I thought Border was into 1/35th scale for their aircraft? Good news none the less.
I dont think it would make much business sense for a company to stick to producing models in a single scale. The opportunity obviously arose to acquire the moulds and Border grasped it with both hands 
Doesn’t read as if its all going to be plain sailing though…Watch this space …
As kind of mentioned in the article, they acquired the Wingnut Wings moulds - the box art they refer to was WNW’s…so it was already scaled out to 1/32.
Look at WNW’s promotional pics and you can tell it is basically the same kit
I thought that Kotare - ( I think that’s their name ) WnW’s spin off - would be rescuing the Lanc but the new Spit is probably a wiser business decision.
I don’t really have the space in my display case for even the HK 1/48 Lanc so the 1/32 one is way out of the question but I would love to have one anyway… sigh …

Maybe like Meng with the triplane moulds Border were working with WNW on the Lancaster? Interesting none the less and how its priced etc, a few that plumped for the HKM Lanc when WnW went belly up may be wishing they hadnt.
I would love one, would I could I build it, I doubt it.
Do I have space for it.? No.
Do I want to buy it? Damn right I do

Saw LuckyModel has it for preorder at $599.99 US. Wingnut was estimating something like $450 which I might have been able to talk myself into but $600 is nearly $800 Cdn at current exchange rates. Maybe someone will have a better price but I am guessing not much better.
