David G Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 if someone wants to buy the print and the embossed metal plate from my kit, I will sell mine. I just want the P-40N kit. Wish they would give buyers the option to opt out of the "extras" and drop the retail price of the kit to a reasonable level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHatch Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Wish they would give buyers the option to opt out of the "extras" and drop the retail price of the kit to a reasonable level. They did. It was the Overtrees option for €37.45, but that is now gone. https://www.eduard.c...-32.html?lang=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David G Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I tried to buy some Overtrees but they sold out quickly. Literally one day I went to Eduard's site to see if they were there, went back the next morning to place an order and poof! they were gone.

Anthony in NZ Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Thanks James Great review, It seems the etch and resin exhausts are unique to that kit. The etch set has extra stuff their regular sets dont have, like those excellent underwing bomb racks....darn it I might have to get one after seeing what you get!

Bill M. Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Seeing as how this kit is a limited release and limited numbers, I became concerned that I would wait around for it to go on sale and the kit would go out-of-stock. This seems to often be my experience! So based on that concern, I went ahead and ordered one from Sprue Brothers. I also went and bought a set of Fundekals "Lulu Belle" decals. If it does end up going on sale at some point in the future, maybe I'll buy another one. Bill M. KUROK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanKB Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Great marketing by Eduard - maybe the were seeing the effect "Sold Out" has on Wingnut Wings kits, and managing to shift a fairly bog standard kit at an eye watering price is some going.

I'd be very interested in the plate if you want to sell it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolga ULGUR Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Does anybody here study Eduard's kit resin wheels? There is only one set of tyre. Are these tyres 27" light weight or previous standard larger 30" x 10" tyres ? There are both M and N versions for decalling options. Any comments?

Phartycr0c Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Scored this kit from Andy at Antics at the IPMS Birmingham Expo this weekend. Its a superb offering. Yes i know its a re pop of the Hasegawa kit but the panel lines and details are sharp and crisp. Canopy clear and being an ignoramus on the blue of the NZ markings, I think its perfectly buildable even if aftermarket decals are more accurate. The whole package was being offered by Andy at Antics for a show price of £65.00 quite a reasonable price as far as im concerned, especially as the tin artwork nestles in amongst other such tin and enamel plaques in my kitchen. If, however I was to pay the £105.00 asking price from Hannants, I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Strange art is marketing but well done Eduard for coming up with the idea and giving us 32nd ers another choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Oh man..... I'm resisting this purchase big time. I have the 5,000 edition "N" but I want this kit too. I also have a kiwi "M" with me in Singapore but the N is just so cool looking. Must resist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what you deem to be 'reasonable', though. For some, £65 is too much to pay. For others, £105 is the amount of money they make whilst having a coffee break.

For others, £105 is the amount of money they make whilst having a coffee break. Indeed. I'm trying to frame it in relation to the existing market for 1/32 WWII kits, where £65 is commonly seen, but £105 is not. But in my experience, people with shedloads of money are still pretty careful with their spending. The wealthiest people I know are tighter than a ducks arse. They tend to look at "value" in absolute terms, rather than in relation to their resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
