Ryan Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I wonder will there be a mad rush to cancel pre-orders for the HK kit? Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not make kits of planes that have NEVER been done ? The list is to long to post. OK,I shall name one...B.P. Defiant Why do people whine about the kits being released not being kits they want released? Why not get together with a group of friends and send a petition to kit makers regarding your desires? The reasons are apparent to me. OK, I shall name one...easier to whine than get friends together to make a petition. Kilroy Was Here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I shall name one...easier to whine than get friends together to make a petition. We are modelers, we don’t have friends, just acquatances that won’t agree on what to put on the petition. So we all whine about wanting something that no two others can agree on. However, I will be emailing WNW and requesting subject matter based upon those Merlin engines. I would really like to see a WNW Hurricane David66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrov27 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I think many do petition and ask companies to do certain subjects - I have. I don't think it makes a whole lot of impact though. Personally I am tired of those who "whine" about the "whiners" Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Keeping my HKM preorder. Not worth the hassle to cancel and then find out WNW is 2X the cost and then trying to find an HKM in stock somewhere..... Jan_G and CATCplSlade 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah... Revell cheap but crap, a model this big deserves the quality treatment, something Revell are not capable of.

Wasn't going to be purchasing the HK kit as I'm not that interested in the plain-Jane bomber. The dambuster just changed all that and I'm in full-Monty.

My opinion of WnW and Peter Jackson just dropped into a cesspool. What a low life move. Very childish. Evidently the kit has been in development for something like 8 years... sure it might have been prudent to announce some time ago (thinking of HK) But WNW is just like Tamiya..don't know what's coming until it's just about here and don't care what other companies are releasing..Except for this one occasion. I believe WNW for the first time has let the cat out of the bag early, because they have invested heavily in time and money (which will show spectacularly in this kit) and would be very cognizant of lost sales to a competitor. It's just business,although it may seem unfair it was still the right thing to do. MikeMaben, Jan_G, LSP_Paul and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
