nmayhew Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Just been having a look at the Do 335 A-12 I bought yesterday, it really is magnificent, ZM are seriously raising the bar. ps. the A-12's a limited release, so if you want one, don't dilly dally. Was that at Telford? What did you pay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Yeah, it was £151 - I also bought the additional sets... expensive in a way, but the hours of enjoyment compared with football/theatre/film/bands it works out far cheaper. Great kit. nmayhew, Uncarina, Troy Molitor and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade rowlands Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I was tempted to pick an A-12 up but I wanted a HK B-2 more, didn't come across one at any of the stands I visited and by the time I came to the conclusion I wasn't going to find one I'd spread the ear marked cash around several other stalls anyway. Oops. Already saving for the ZM purchases next year! David66 and Dave T 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasta 14 addict Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 To my humble opinion, boring subjects, and they keep continue to do so. But hey, that's just my opinion, i'm sure lot's of people will be happy with the upcoming releases. Greetz Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick R. Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Seems the FW-190A series gets pushed furhter back as far as a release date. Announced prior to Do-335 and F-4 series. At least two years ago. Not sure why release is taking that long. Hope the wait is worth it. MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artful69 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) ... Announced prior to Do-335 and F-4 series. At least two years ago. Not sure why release is taking that long ... ... And there's your answer ... The Fw.190 concept was announced early (at the start of it's development). I'm not exactly sure why? Perhaps it was because they were excited about the Standard vs Basic idea? Most people tend to think that a subject is thought about ... and then SHAZZAM!! ... It becomes a kit within a year ... whereas the gestation period is more like 3-4 years. From what I've seen from most producers ... the announcements are made 'just prior' to release ... or through the final (one year?) of development. This is why the Do.335, Ki.45 and Hs.129 look like they've kicked the Fw.190 to the kerb ... When the reality is ... they probably entered development at similar times.

BlackMikeModels Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Yeah, it was £151 - I also bought the additional sets... expensive in a way, but the hours of enjoyment compared with football/theatre/film/bands it works out far cheaper. Great kit. That is exactly the way to look at a purchase like the larger ZM kits, it's all about the hours of fun that the kit will provide. When you look at them that way they are actually good value for money (I'll keep trying to convince myself of that anyway ) Duncan B GusM, Uncarina, MikeMaben and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Cross Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Squadron sold out, so no new Corsairs. But my pals are supposedly getting a 40% off coupon, so maybe in a month or two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackMikeModels Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Yeah, it was £151 - Great kit. That is a really good price, I take it that ZM had a promotional price on it? Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
