Models, what else? I am a closet propeller head even though I'm a contributing writer at Armorama.

I don't think we are ever going to be of one mind about pricing for OOP kits. But please realize I scored on my last two WNW kits, but have a number of armor models that are effectively OOP, yet fetch half of what they originally sold for. So for every WNW goldmine, there are literally scores of old kits begging for buyers (I can sell them at fire-sale prices if I choose). We don't even know if BNA got them from JetMads. They would not be the first retailer to buy up a lot or lots of kits and resell. I have a modeling friend who does just that. Says his business rests on the the "three Ds: debt, divorce or death."

Sprue brother have the Takom 1/35 Apache D at half price
Bill Cross replied to Archimedes's topic in LSP Discussion
Can that kit be "backdated" to a US version? UPDATE: doesn't matter, the discount is no longer available. -

While the resin canopy is desirable, it's possible to build the thing without it if you can't find one:

Do we know how capitalism works? Do we? It seems someone is always bellyaching about price gouging for one thing or another. Then when a manufacturer or retailer goes out of business, we shed tears. If you had the spare cash to invest in 5 kits and did so, then I would not object to you selling them for whatever the market would bear. But you might buy five kits and find no takers at that price. Not every sold-out kit is a windfall. In the interest of full disclosure, I sold my last two WNW's kits for much more than I paid for them. Good for me. Others are doing the same. Good for them. That may offend you, but no one here owes anyone else a discounted price because we hang out on the Internet. I apologize if that sounds harsh, but what you're saying seems naive.

I'm interested in the F-15 burner can. Please relist your website so I can look at price and availability. Thanks.

Supply and demand for a sold-out run. Tell it to Uber.

Oh, oh, new Reskit Update with Jammers and Rotors
Bill Cross replied to Bill Cross's topic in LSP Discussion
It's in the works from what I have heard. Ordered. Now I can build the thing, though Screaming Toad Models is apparently doing a full cockpit upgrade.... -
Woke up this AM to find out those clever bastards at Ukraine's Reskit have launched new goodies like a replacement nose cone for the Trumpy Thud, a new rotor for the ICM Tarhe (folded or open), and MJ-1A/B/C Jammers for loading ordnance. https://reskit-models.com/scale-plastic-model-kits/new-releases

Why is the old Italeri F-104C $150 at retail?
Bill Cross replied to Bill Cross's topic in LSP Discussion
I need a C for Vietnam. What is the "new version"? -

Bill Cross replied to Bill Cross's topic in LSP Discussion
On backorder. And shipping is $55. -
The same actually here in the Colonies: it just showed up one day with no real notice. Sometimes that's the nicest thing in a day.

Bill Cross replied to Bill Cross's topic in LSP Discussion
Thanks, that's a better price, but the $20 shipping puts it right back to Sprue Bros. prices (with free shipping over $200 which it would be with AM). But thanks for the information, I REALLY do appreciate your taking the time.
