Gun bays are very well detailed, but I'll just leave out all that stuff, same with the engine, installing only what's necessary to support other needed items. Treat it like a Dragon armor kit; all the stuff you leave off are the parts Dragon marks in blue as unused. Into the spares bin it all goes.

thierry laurent Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Ouch! 199€??? In comparison, the hand-made HpH twins are cheap! If the price is so high, I will only get one... :-( Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artful69 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 15 hours ago, Jan_G said: it doesn't look so. That guy is taking preorders and states tat it should be released in September 2018 or till the end of 2018. IMHO if it would be ready, we would get lot of info in Old man blog already jan Correct ... This is another eBay con-artist scalper who has taken some previously released ZM artwork (such as those on display at the Tokyo show) and used it to try to sell hyper expensive preorders. 200 EUR ???? ... he can get stuffed! The Ki-45 isn't getting released until Telford ... at a price of 110 GBP ... and it isn't due for general release (according to the Old Man Blog) until December! The Hs.129 isn't even close ... otherwise it would be coming to Telford along with the Ki-45. At the earliest, I'd say 1st or 2nd quarter of 2019 ... that's a looooooong time for some rip off merchant to be hanging onto your money!! If anyone IS interested in this purchase - I have a much more lucrative investment lined up ... a lovely piece of real estate in Sydney ... it's this really big bridge that even collects road tolls!

Rick Griewski Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Good idea about displaying some of the internal parts as a separate model. I plan to show the belly cannon on the Hs-129 open 103 open/down and some of the panels open. One could display the belly gun of the Ki-45 also. These kits are exciting for me.

mywifehatesmodels Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I was suspicious right away that this seller was hoping to capitalize on the "gotta have it first" crowd. Given ZM's pricing of previous releases, I just can't see it costing that much. John Jan_G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jack Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 To me, you pay too much up the yingyang for a kit with internal detail that you will never see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their other kits I've either got no interest in, or I already have other manufacturers versions, like Revell's He 219, Hasegawa's Raiden, Tamiya's Mustang & PCM's Ta 152 - at much lower cost as well, albeit with nowhere near the same open-panel treatment.

LSP_Mike Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I have the He-219, Ki-45 be my second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 The Hs-129 and Ki-45 have both long been on my 32nd want list. I'm wondering............. It's been made known that multiple versions of both will be released; does a that mean a single kit with all parts for the versions mentioned, or does that mean an initial kit of one version, with other separate versions/kits to be release at a later date?

Kagemusha Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 For the Toryu all the parts for various versions are in the one box, the Hs 129; time will tell... Iain, alaninaustria and Out2gtcha 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 But 199 Euros??? Lets see in Dollars AU that's... $325.26. That's a bit more than any kit should cost, I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
