Bill M. Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Back to the original topic, I have been informed by a very reliable source, who is in a position to know, that the 1/32 HpH B3N2 Kate will be available to purchase in “3-4 weeks”. Still desiring a 1/32 Kate, I’m still in for one… Archimedes, Kagemusha and Fanes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmayhew Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Just too much to get anything but the fanatical devotees at that price CRAZY IVAN5, MikeMaben, monthebiff and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 It's a steep asking price, if you look on Hannants it would appear to be all resin except for the engine,landing gear and much of the cockpit but don't worry you can get 3D printed engine and cockpit fromHpH to improve these areas!

bobster Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Where is the B-26.... I have my 1/32 Kates and my 1/32 Vals after wanting same for DECADES! These are likely limited production, and I decided I will not risk someday looking back and saying I wish I had acted when available. Especially the Val, as it appears future plastic production is out at HPH / Infinity. My last must have is the B-26. Any news on the release of this bad boy? coogrfan and Bill M. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill M. Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Well, to all you naysayers— if you are like me, and simply must have a 1/32 scale Kate, you will spring for one of these Kates while they’re available; price or not. I don’t want to take a chance that I will miss out. You might check around as to price. Hannants is scheduled to get them in just days and attend offering a 10% discount if you place one on back order. Same with the 3d printed engine, bomb and cockpit. In fact, they are reportedly being shipped to Hannants today. You can also order now directly from HpH. Don’t know how it all works out with exchange rates, shipping, etc. I would expect there to be other US retailers too. I don’t know if there prices will be the same or less than Squadron, or if these Kates might be discounted before they disappear from the market. I don't have an interest in HpH or the sales of this kit, except for the selfish reasons that I want a 1/32 Kate and I hope that it builds into an accurate and well detailed Kate. coogrfan and Tomjw 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
