petrov27 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Looks like a early incomplete demo kit for a show? Condition: Model is very neat / structured in detail - was only set up for a trade fair - unpainted - missing parts / minor damage / reworking possible or necessary ...

Subodai Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 That looks to be the one that was photo'd at a show recently, with the upside down cowl? That's gotta be stolen surely? Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas Beck Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Well, you get an incomplete, slightly damaged and glued show model from the Nuremberg Fair. What will you do with that scrap if in two, three or four months you will have the chance to get an undamaged, complete and not glued model together with an instruction sheet and some decals in a nice and sturdy box, even if it is seriously higher priced ??

Out2gtcha Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Id say unlikely it was outright stolen, but could have been one of the company reps selling it possibly. NOT hard to identify at all since as was pointed out the flip flopped cowls, not to mention the fact that the kit has not been released yet.

chrish Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 My opinion...(like belly buttons) if the manufacturer built it for the show, it should not be sold but taken from the show and destroyed...crash tested or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurzacher Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 This seller also offers two other HobbyBoss / Trumpeter kits, which he describes as having been assembled for a hobby show (aka Nuremberg Toy Fair). I never heard of stuff having been given away after the show, but given the state of those it could have been. I, for myself, wouldn't bother to take these crude build kits back home to China... on on the A-26: the guns of the upper turret, is it correct that those move up in slots? IIRC this could have been an error in the Monogram 1/48 kit, also?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Boogaloo Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Some comedian in Japan has two on eBay for pre release order. A snip at £355 each.....! It must be very.....good! Oh, and the postage is extra!!!! Blue Skies! Captain Boogaloo Stefano 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
