LSP_Kevin Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 It's been officially announced on Facebook. Quote Hello Dear Friends, Its time for one of the most important Model Events of the world. The IPMS NATIONALS begin, this year, the home base is Omaha, Nebraska. And the Kinetic Model is proud to announce two completely new releases for your Gold Series.

Our 72003 - C-17A Globemaster III in 1/72 scale is on the final tooling process and coming soon will reach the market with many possibilities. Estimated Release: 2023.

The Madhatter Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I wonder what the sticker price will be? If its anything like the Modelcollect B2 (and I do not mean quality), it'll be, what ~ $250 - $270au roughly? I mean the Revell AN224 was $220 and that was 1/144.

npb748r Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I'm sure I spotted around £160 or £170 being quoted by someone based on a retailer's quote on another forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, converting that to AUD, add in the “Australia Tax”, import duties, 10% GST it should only cost about 1 kidney, half my liver and my first born…. BARGAIN!!

npb748r Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I don't know much about the real aircraft - did it come in anything other than grey ?? I need to get looking at the net pictures as the size of this thing puts it on my buy it list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokeyforgothispassword Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) Qatar have added a bit of colour to their fleet QATAR C-17 You’ve made me think about committing som whiffery if I do get this kit, perhaps one of the RAAF’s Caribou schemes might look good on a C-17?
