Why can't people just be appreciative that we have another 1/32 player in the market? So what if they're not making something that everyone would choose for their first release? People would certainly gripe if it were another P-51 or Bf109 for sure, "Oh god, not another Mustang"....

And, if all those kits that are wished for were released, who could buy them all? And build them?

What's wrong with a fleet of captured yellow & green mottled Hellcats and Mustangs based on the Trumpeter kits? Just as plausible. Right scale, just as accurate, just as probable.

I think it is somewhat legitimate for some people to be frustrated as we are in a niche market in which we do not get dozens of new models yearly. Look at 1/35th kits. There is no more similar reaction towards the 1946 paper panzer. I think this is because close to all 'mainstream' topics are covered and sometimes you have the choice between 5 or 6 similar kits! So, modellers do not feel the release of another paper panzer as a 'missed opportunity' or a 'waste of rare resources'. In LSP this is clearly different. Some mainstream topics have not yet been covered after more than half-a-century of releases! I think this explains that. I don't think it is not reasonable to question the need to have two kits of a Horten prototype that never flew when none of the mythical late war two-engines Luftwaffe nightfighters has ever been released as a plastic kit!

Wow, that's a great price. Too bad I'm in Canada. 

[Martinnfb]

Amazing pricing.  When I looked at those links I misread PREORDER as a PERHORDER, stunted myself at the spot.  

 

[Troy Molitor]

I just saw this as well.  A rather good price indeed!  $$55.49 pre order.   yes!

Well, that certainly under cuts the Z-M kit. I'll wait and see how good the instructions are, along with the fit. THEN maybe. It is a good price especially in this day and age.

[AngryJazz_Models]

Great news! Looks like my bet on the price was pretty close 😁

Im definitely putting in a preorder when it's available in EU! Now we can start to wonder what's next from Takom Wings. 

I would not be surprised if it was a Luft46 project. They have been quite fond of German paper projects in their tank catalog.

[The Phantom]

55 dollars awesome.

Post to Australia 200 dollars lol.

So very true. 

 

Plus, with the current postal strike, it could be a while before you received it.
