HobbyZoneUSA Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 The HobbyZone Plane Stand (building jig) shipment is now inbound and should be here early next week. As promised, we'll have an introductory special - the first ten stands (one per person) will sell at $49.95 plus shipping, after that, they will be available at their regular price of $64.95 plus shipping. Thank you for your patience! Note: We're told by the factory that HobbyZone USA will be the exclusive seller of the Plane Stand for the foreseeable future. If you live outside the US, email me directly at sales@hobbyzone.biz and we'll see what we can do to support you. We're expecting the final shipment from Attack Squadron in the next few weeks, this will have the C-130E/H engines, C-130J engines, C-130 flaps, and C-130 wheels in both 1/48 and 1/72 for the Italeri and Testors kits. No word from Arma Hobby if they've had a buyer for the Attack Squadron molds, so this may be the final opportunity to buy a set. We also have the 1/48 SBD dive flaps, 1/48 BRU-57 cVER, and 1/48 GBU-54 reorder as well. Finally, we've picked up a few of the Attack Squadron kits: 1/48 Grumman F2F, 1/48 MQ-8B Firescout, and 1/72 MQ-8B and MQ-8C Firescouts. Res/Kit has released some new sets and we're adding some additional sets from their line-up including (all 1/48): Su-17/22 wheels, MiG-25 wheels, MiG-31 wheels, UH-34/Wessex wheels w/floatation (we already have the UH-34 land-based wheels), Matra 155 rocket pods, GBU-12 LGB, and Durandal bombs. For those of you with the Trumpeter or Revell 1/32 MiG-29 Fulcrum A or MiG-29UB Fulcrum C kits, we have the new Begemot 1/32 MiG-29 family airframe and weapons stencils set due in next week.

JimRice Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Is there a pre-order option to lock in for one of the first ten? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HobbyZoneUSA Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 Sorry, no. The system is not set up for pre-orders as we don't want to take peoples' money until we have the products on-hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanKB Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 By the time shipping & VAT are added, it'll be around $100 for European shipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seiran01 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Is there a photo of the build jig, Michael? Didn't find one on the website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HobbyZoneUSA Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) We don't have a photo yet on HobbyZone.biz as we don't have the production units in yet. Here's a preview with two of the prototypes: https://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/tools/hz/tool_hz_jig.shtml Edited November 1, 2017 by HobbyZoneUSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 It looks nice and solid, which is sadly not a feature of the JH Models stand that I have. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HobbyZoneUSA Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 It looks nice and solid, which is sadly not a feature of the JH Models stand that I have. Kev I've tried several of the flimsy laser-cut jigs over the years and never had much use for them. This is based upon one that I had over 30 years ago made by a local member of our IPMS club, but much lighter and more flexible. The photo above is a prototype, I'll have images and building tips for the production model shortly. The one above doesn't have the scale in the nose side of the base (the production model does) and there is foam padding in the holding surfaces that I didn't install on this prototype.
