Ali62 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 From a thread in Britmodeller it looks like these two kits have been re-released in China, and the news is that they will be released in the U.K. in the coming weeks. I had a quick look on ebay and a few sellers in China have them for £105 to £120.00 for either of the kit options.

npb748r Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 good news, I'd like to build another one - a colourful F3 this time I think. Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confusionreigns178 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 That's pretty ironic. In the last month, a Trumpy Lightning sold for £335.00 on E-Bay! I would think the buyer will be cursing their luck right now. Cheers. Chris. Rick Griewski and Derek B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zola25 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 They also recently re-released their MiG-23´s - They have also been a bit pricey on eBay. Especially the MiG-23MF kit. /Niels Tony T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confusionreigns178 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 A little oddly, I can't see any mention of the re-release on the Hannants site. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confusionreigns178 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 About two years ago, a Revell Ju-88 A1 went for £225.00 on the 'Bay. I have four of these in my garage. Recently, they seem to go for between £60 and £90 or so. Strange how the market ebbs-and-flows, isn't it? Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozart Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I’ve got another Echelon Lightning to do so won’t be investing in the Trumpeter one, but I’m delighted for those who want a large scale model of this iconic, imposing aeroplane.

My LHS has 3 of them they got in a massive 10,000 kit collection they bought. They're still sorting through them so I've been patiently waiting for them to get to the kits.

Same here. For me the best thing about the release of the Trumpeter kit were the aftermarket gems; cockpit, jet pipes wheel wells etc. Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
