intheway Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) I have an offer to pre-order email from Sunward Hobbies in Toronto for $179.99 Canadian. That would be about $131.12 USD or 125.28 euros. Email says available in January, 2023.

I’m waiting for a call back from Lauren at Metro’s … apparently they will be $190 - so “Tamiya Prices” was a good guess. Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thierry laurent Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Ouch! A price that is finally clearly more expensive than the one of the new Airfix 1/24 Spitfire... I will get one but for a single seater without engine plastic model, this is VERY expensive. Too bad. ivanmoe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already pre-ordered and paid €119 to MBK. It is an expensive kit to be sure. Ernest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolga ULGUR Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 I pre-ordered one from artscale a few months ago. But for the second one, I may need to start negotiations with the IMF and make a stand-by agreement. MikeMaben, D.B.

dennismcc Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Buy two Revell Hurricanes instead and use the change for beer. Cheers Dennis ivanmoe, TankBuster, Tolga ULGUR and 7 others 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quang Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 I’d rather get the new 1/24 Airfix and have a kick out of the Merlin Panzerwomble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 I so want Kotare to succeed (and don't care about the missing engine, which I'd rather was replaced by a smooth bearing for a rotating propeller), but... I'm going to have to have a seriously flush zone next year to buy one. And I still want one. But want doesn't mean get.

Tissue and Dope Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 I too hope that Kotare succeed and subsequently produce further top quality interesting subjects ( I will NOT be buying a second £100 Spitfire ). Actually I don’t want to be tempted by more new releases for some time, as too many kits have been, or are about to be paid for over a rather short period of time; the ZM Bf 109, the Airfix Spitfire, the Italeri 1/12 Bugatti (not a plane, but expensive), and the Kotare Spitfire, and Revell Hurricane both to come shortly.

geedubelyer Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Fascinating discussion. I suppose all things are relative. The Tamiya Spitfires cost a little more but do include an engine. The Revell Spitfires are significantly less and will suit some folk more than this. Then again, the Border models Lancaster costs around 6x the cost of this Spitfire and plenty of avid modellers have bought one. So it's horses for courses. The fact that we as modellers have so many new kits to enjoy is the true joy of this whole situation. npb748r, Archimedes, MikeMaben and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
