DrDave Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 So I’m thinking we will end up paying £200 ish when demand plateaus. Phartycr0c 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npb748r Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 £170 would be a hard push for me but I would probably save to get it at that price after some internal wrangling about paying that much. £200 or over is a no for me unfortunately - I just can't afford that kind of money on what is a box of plastic for a hobby. That's 5 kits at £40 which would last me probably 3-4 months of hobby time. I suspect I wont be the only one in this position moving forwards.

There is a sizeable difference between 260 and 200 GBP! ... People can discuss all they want about pre-release pricing ... but common sense must win out at the end of the day. HK Lancaster's retail at about $450 AUD ... but even with discounts - north of $350 ... B-17's slightly less. B-25's retail at about $280 - $350 depending on the retailer, boxing and any discounts involved. Do335's ... at about $200 - $250 ... Tamiya's DH Mosquito ... as awesome as that kit is - priced itself out of the market ... A smallish twin at $350 AUD?? I'd say they'll have to price this thing somewhere about Do-335 through to B-25 territory ... 200 GBP would have to be a ceiling height for pricing - especially in a depressed market place ... In Australia, anywhere above $300 AUD would probably drop demand significantly. Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDave Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 The Mitchell is £240 at online retailers in the UK, though it’s anywhere from £170-220 if you shop hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDave Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 And dont shoot the messenger…. The distributor on the stand said upwards of £200 quid. Why would they charge less than the Mitchell for a newer more complex kit? The solution of course, is to wait and watch and buy when they get more realistic, at £170 on eBay.

Dave Williams Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 The detail looks great, but I’m not sure about the stressed skin effect with every single panel stressed, and in exactly the same way. geedubelyer and frank83 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the price is lower more the better. but it's a sell for me! When is the projected release date again?

Neo Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Looks nice love the skin texture Note the wing to fuselage attachment is HK's very successful bayonet solution. It means that the wings are easily removeable for storage or transportation This is very similar to Monograms 1/48 B-17 from the stone ages Phartycr0c and coogrfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
