Dave Williams 3,756 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I don’t think the “hundreds of them” applies to everything. I think it’s just the number of molds for producing the resin parts. You need multiple molds for each resin part as one mold isn’t going to last for 500 copies.

GrahamF 1,489 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 The more I look at this project the less convinced I am, but hey what do I know. Graham 47 minutes ago, Dave Williams said: “We will be performing test casts, test prints, test builds and mold production (a few hundres of them) in September and October. ” So a few hundred test builds before the 500? Why not make your life easier and do one test print and cast so people can see it. Even the big boys do that. Graham Bob MDC 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LSP_K2 25,007 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Looks like another one I'll have to give a miss. I'd rather use that sort of money toward another 1:16 armor kit, to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites

BloorwestSiR 11,825 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 For those on the reservation list, the pre-order page is now open. I just made the payment for mine. Carl Link to post Share on other sites

Landrotten Highlander 648 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) https://www.jetmads.com/product-page/1-32-ja37-viggen paid for mine earlier today. Edited August 30, 2020 by Landrotten Highlander Jack, Stevepd and Scotsman 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams 3,756 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) Paid for my pair, but it took a bit of doing because the first card I used was blocked by the CC company because they thought it was fraud. The cockpit renders on the product page are interesting. Looks like it’s the D/Di instrument panel. Edited August 31, 2020 by Dave Williams Out2gtcha 1 Link to post Share on other sites
tigger 331 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) Paid yesterday but nothing showing on credit card yet so no idea of the final unit price. By my conversion I reckon it will be about £140. With postage on top it should be about £165 ish. final price with postage and cc non U.K. currency Was £172.

Scotsman 1,911 Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 Or less than I paid fro the rather cruder Buccaneer - so I'm cool with price .. Stevepd 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Stokey Pete 1,156 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I’ve had to pull out of the list to buy one of these. Hopefully anothe LSP’er will get the spot on the reservation list. I startling health issue has me committing finances elsewhere for the forseeable future, so my model buying has been stopped by the new money boss (wife). I still look forward to seeing everyone’s kits when they land, and who knows, maybe buying a later version should Jetmads decide to release one.

Royboy 1,210 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Yep paid for mine today, quality costs. There's more going into these model kits now more than ever! Accuracy issues aside, manufacturers appear to be listening to the modellers now regarding detailing and subject matter in all subjects and scales. Jetmads are going to produce three subjects in 1/18 scale, now those will truly be wallet breaking!! Scotsman and Stevepd 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Tnarg 1,626 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Jetmads have already delivered on their first product and it looks fine. I hope they release the fascinating subjects on their list like the X-3 and alternate Viggen and maybe Draken versions. Tnarg Royboy, Out2gtcha and Stefano 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Same same, and like a dummy, hit the button several times and got a txt from my bank fortunately. Somehow I had 8 charges on their site, EIGHT! The JetMads site kept coming up with errors, and wouldn't go through, so thought I was forgetting something.......must have hit the button or changed things WAY more than I thought. After speaking to the bank, I did manage to actually get my order in and paid, along with getting my confirmation email too. I am as I do I guess. Fanes 1 Link to post Share on other sites
