yeah,
I bought a Litko large space flight base for my Hallmark Lambda.
For £5.50 you get the large base, a short pole and three fitting,
Annoyingly litko has branded the base… although this isn't a problem if you use a YT1300 or FireSpray card insert
The base is the same length as the official base but 2 mm short on the width.
The plastic insert was very tight fitting into the YT1300 card insert. the official base has ridges along the sides that the Litko base does not.
I only glued the Plastic fitting onto the bottom of the Lamda, the rest of the assembly was tight fitting and didn't require glue.
The biggest problem is that the pole is too short and the Lambdas wings almost touch the board.
Summary.
The base as pretty good.
It's a shame the base is branded and the pole too short.
A extra inch would have ment the Lamdba's cockpit would have been the same height as the YT1300s and FireSprays, and the Lambdas wings would be up off the board.
Panic Rating - 8/10
-1 for branding the base… not needed.
-1 for the short pole… a selection of lengths would have been ideal or one long pole that could be cut to length.
I think I might use the outter rim smuggler profile for the lambda along side a YT1300
The weaker profile makes sense!
Panic…
