The Cobra was a lovely kit indeed, with just a new gotchas. Royboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. 1/35 is a crime IMHO, but the CH-54 and SH-3 are my favorite helos, so I can't resist them in LSP form....I'll have to have one of each at least, even in that scale.

raphaelmd Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Hey, I can see a 1/35 Seaking but what about a new generation of super puma, Caracal special ops... No one have done this helicopter in any scale and that's too bad so why not starting with a big one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize it’s a physically large aircraft, but it’s mostly just a cockpit pod and two engines and a transmission. Ah the joys of having a wholesale account with Hannants. Providing I can get hold of a couple when they finally arrive on these shores I should be able to offer a nice little discount to LSP members, say £130.00 rather than £159.80. Anyone interested just let me know. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If shipping is not ridiculous when it is actually released I might take you up on that. I'm hoping it gets over here for a decent price somewhere in-between the two if ideal.

Anyone interested just let me know. Sorry, just to add to the aforementioned, the quoted price of £130.00 was in relation to Kit #53055 which contains the BLU-82/B Daisy Cutter bomb. The uncluttered variant, Kit #53054 will be going for £120.00 rather than £149.80. Hope that clarifies things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I am afraid that postage to the US has become a tad ridiculous. I have managed to get stuff shipped to both Europe and Australia recently at relatively descent prices, but the USA seems to be a whole different kind of issue altogether, unfortunately.

Neo Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Luckymodel is my goto place for large kit, wait for the flat shipping deal, sadly used to be 2$ now 20$ but still unbeatable Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their FRS deal is really good and what I used a long time ago to get my Tamiya Mosquito here for $2. $20 doesn't seem like much at this point to get a model here of that size.

The box was about the size of one that fake Christmas trees came in. More recently what I've noticed is they're sending any of those surface mail orders in shipping containers with their own kits. They then just drop it off at the local post office so it arrives via Canada Post and doesn't get hit with any duties/taxes. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Kinda surprised about the choice of scale, thought these guys were standardizing on 32nd, then they announced a reissue of their Cobra in 35th and now this kit is coming out in 35th. Wonder if they have decided just to stick with 35th scale moving forward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
