machine_marty Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I agree with the comment about not a lot for a substantial outlay. Eduard releases used to be packed with goodies (1/48 P-47 & P-38 for example), but a couple of etched frets and resin wheels doesn't quite make the price tag viable IMHO. Still a nice kit though - I'm enjoying mine anyway mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a nice kit though - I'm enjoying mine anyway It's been discussed in other topic's. Either you spend the money on this kit or you don't, that's a personal matter. Still i find it a beautiful kit and i'm enjoining it from the first second i started the kit. Greetz Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel_W Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) Honestly, I'm not a big fan of these so called limited edition Eduard kits. When they 1st started with this concept, you did get a lot more bang for your buck in terms of resin and Pe parts, but the actual kit was a older kit that the manufacture was glad to be getting a 2nd life. A Win/Win situation for both parties. Eduard's limited kit concept offering of the excellent Hasegawa P-47D bubble Jug, was a release I passed on after reading exactly what I'm getting for their outrageous MSRP/Retail using Sprue Brothers prices. The stand alone Hasegawa kit has a MSRP of $90, and a regular retail price of $71.99 The Eduard Speical Edition offering has a MSRP of $195 and a regular retail price of $155.99. For Slightly more then twice the price you're getting two PE frets, a set of Brasin wheel and tires, a Cartograf decal sheet, and a Eduard mask set. Some how this doesn't exactly sound like a great deal for the consumer. Joel Edited February 16, 2017 by Joel_W mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amurray Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I'm still scratching my head over Eduard's production of this kit. It is so outside of their previous efforts in terms of scale and subject matter. I greatly appreciate it but I am puzzled by it. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'm thrilled that Eduard is thinking outside of the box by going with a 1/32 scale offering. But as I posted, we'd be much better off picking and choosing what AM and decals we would prefer if any, and save a ton of money to boot.

Jasta 14 addict Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 There will always be room for improvement regarding choice of subject and choice of what aftermarket is suitable. 150€ for a multi media kit isn't bad at all, taking in account that it is a superb Hasegawa quality rebox. Yes, maybe a older one, but still a very nice to build one, and that's in my eyes the most important aspect. Now back on topic, i still working on the cockpit panels, partially to improve them a little bit with some scratch build items and of course with the colored pe. This weekend you can expect photo's over here of the progress. Greetz Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
