Aptivaboy Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Sorry, I tried to post this earlier but my browser kept crashing so apologies if this is duplicated elsewhere. It looks like the Meng/Wingnuts Tripe is up for preorder at Spruebrothers. Just thought I'd pass it on. https://store.spruebrothers.com/product_p/mngqs002.htm and https://store.spruebrothers.com/product_p/mngqs002s.htm Dave Williams, AlbertD, scvrobeson and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Thanks for the heads up! Just (pre)ordered a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbk57 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I am not ordering yet. I want to see what markings are in kit, if i don’t like them will wait on after market. This is not a limited run kit. It will be around a long time. I will order eventually but i suspect there will be plenty to go arounad. Eagle Driver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the handy dandy Silhouette cutter, and now with Kevs site up, https://www.scalemodelpaintmasks.com/ as well as all the Aviatic decals out, Ill be making up something I like and go from there.

Me neither, I'll wait until the price drops, which I imagine it will. Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Model has them for almost half of SB's price. One of each (1 reguar, 1 w/bust) with a 10% off code and slow shipping totaled less than $100.

firefly7 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I did the dame as D, regular version was $ 37 i think, with free shipping. Looks like the U.S. importer is jacking up the price again. D Bellis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Meng and other Chinese manufacturers kits are almost always cheaper getting them from places like Lucky Model, Hobbyeasy, or eBay from sellers in China. We can play the “I can get it cheaper” game for many kits. It’s funny that no one would have blinked an eye if WMW had charged $70 for the Dr.1 (in fact, it likely would have been at least $79), but now it’s importers ripping us off. edfifer, nichenson and Out2gtcha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As opposed to the "Pay double just to get kits from favorite a US retailer" game the thread started as?
