There are several pictures on the interwebs from Telford showing a 3D printed version with the cannon. But I''ll guess it will take a year (and a half) before it gets on the market. At the 2019 Telford show, ZM displayed the runners with the plastic parts for a B-3 as well as the assembled B-3 with cannon made of plastic parts (not 3D prints). I was at the stand, those of you who got the Hs 129 kit at the show may remember that I was the one minding the (dwindling) pyramid of pre-ordered kits. :-) You can see photos of the B-3 here: https://www.zoukeimura.co.jp/image/img_sentiment/img_106b007.jpg on this page: https://www.zoukeimura.co.jp/en/sentiment/oyajiblog_106.html Rest assured that a number of versions with a variety of armaments are planned.

Out2gtcha Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Very cool. I've been waiting to get an Hs-129 until the B-3 comes out Lothar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alburymodeler Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I am surprised that the kit seems not to have become available in many shops. I don't recall it ever being announced or available at Lucky or HLJ, which is where I generally get these ZM kits. BloorwestSiR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I’m sorry, but it’s a rather lame marketing decision to release a kit with “ one” limited regional decal option. I’m likely the only one, eh? Yep, semi disappointed but nonetheless I am looking forward to a Russian front version. Sooner rather than later is an understatement.

esarmstrong Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 ^^ I never understood why only one set of markings for such a fantastic kit, and to top it off, markings from a sector (Mediterranean theatre) where the plane was engaged for a short time. Thank goodness we have those nice Romanian markings from Radu, but we need some German ones from the Russian Front!

Do a search for it and it comes up. That's how I preordered mine from them. Alburymodeler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 It is listed on Volks USA as in stock. Note: they are saying they are having a glitch on their website with ordering. Not sure what that means! LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
