For them, it's a business. - Dennis S. Mount Juliet, TN USA Understood but to me it makes better business sense to offer a product that has no competition. Much harder to recoup the startup costs when your competitor has a similar product on the market. firefly7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meng, Takom, and RFM are all competing with each other in armor, with all of them releasing Panthers and other WW2 German armor kits. Same kit released by another company doesn’t seem to really affect them for some reason. KiwiZac and John1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wairco Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 The kit will include 32 AMG-114 Hellfire missiles, but only 8 sets of PE. Special version of ROCAF (not finished) dutik and Dany Boy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevepd Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Is the Meng one due soon. I received an email from Jadlam and amongst the hard sell was a register your interest for updates. I suppose it could be just that and helps them gauge on the minimum to order…….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zola25 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 MBK in germany just put the Takom AH-64D kit up for presale @ EUR 75.00 - Retail 85.00 - Launch date in January - Which means it could likely come earlier online. Shipping times these days are not exactly reliable https://www.modellbau-koenig.de/Flugzeuge/Flugzeuge-1-32/Hubschrauber-1-24-1-32/AH-64D-Appache-Longbow-Attack-Helicopter /Niels Stokey Pete, Stevepd, Fanes and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special version of ROCAF (not finished) Does it include 32 missile bodies? Even with only 8 sets of PE, I’d wager that they only include 8 bodies. My suspicion is that they include 4 different seeker head types, and that’s how they get to the 32 count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Did we do this? It looks like they are doing an international E boxing too. https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10935636 Smokeyforgothispassword 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Williams Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Looks like preorders are up at HobbyEasy. $68 for the kit, but another $60 for shipping. Yikes! Think I’ll wait to see what the US prices are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
