Paul2660 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Just curious, has anyone seen this for sale yet in the US? Some are already on eBay, which surprised me. Not finding anything in stock in the US in major retailers. Also, did Hasegawa, discontinue all of the FW190 A models? They are no longer on their website, that I could find and all appear to be gone from all the web locations. It just surprised me as their kits of the 190 A are excellent and a good value. Thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBrown Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) Hannants has changed their release date from March to May. I suspect that U.S. shops probably won't get the kit until June at the earliest. http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/RV4869 Edited April 2, 2015 by RBrown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogsATX Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I've been hearing late April at the earliest. Looks like I've got two Hasegawa 190A-8s to unload... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Bellis Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Tower has it estimated for "Early May": http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LNFCNJ&P=G After looking at the $45.66 it is listed for on the Hannant's site, I'll definitely be getting mine from Tower at just $23.95!

RBrown Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Tower Hobbies is taking pre-orders for the Revell 190 for $23.95 plus shipping of $9.99. But it appears that shipping is restricted to U.S. and Canadian locations only. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wto0139p?&R=E&I=RVLS4869 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vulcan32 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 The Fw-190F-8 is already available in Germany. The price is Euro 39,90, some retailers have listed it for Euro 35,90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That best price of 35,90 euros comes out to $39.04 USD. Can't help but wonder why the kit is so much more expensive in Europe where it originates than it is here in the US ($23.95 USD or 22,02 euros).

Guest Vulcan32 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I had a look at Tower Hobbies, most of the RoG kits are more expensive there than here in Europe. But when a retailer takes several hundred kits, he will get a very good price from RoG. Or it´s just a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony T Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 € 35.90 less VAT @ 20 % would make the price about € 29.91 - that's still a long way from € 22.02, about a quarter off the price. Best of luck. Someone has made a goof or it's a loss-leader or break-even hoping to draw more custom. I'm going to skip on this. It's a hooligan's airplane compared to the Bf 109. Waiting for the rumoured '109 G-2. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Unless you plan to buy it and built it straight away (how novel!), I'd wait as Revell kits tend to become significantly cheaper after a few months.

D Bellis Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 It's a hooligan's airplane compared to the Bf 109. Not only that, but was also more modern and performed better than the Bf 109, too. All are good reasons to love the Fw 190! Unless you plan to buy it and built it straight away (how novel!), I'd wait as Revell kits tend to become significantly cheaper after a few months. True, to a point. Unless this is the reason Tower's pre-order price is so cheap: Or it´s just a mistake. Pre-ordered two last night, tossed in a few other things that have been on my watch list (like another Phantom Mustang), used a $10 off coupon and also got free shipping. Life is good.
