LSP_Ron Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Ron, any suggestions on how to do the box frame? I think that might be the way to display my B-25 when I finish it. Carl Any framing shop that frames sports jerseys etc can make it for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clunkmeister Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) This is purely a guess based on their P-61 and the HKM B-25's, but the $175 to $225 retail price range seems likely. My .02, but they've been pushing the envelope with pricing on these, and being Trumpetboss, I'd expect an MSRP somewhere in the high 300s, with actuall selling prices substantially less.

Dave Williams Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I'd guess that MSRP would be at least $300, based on the MSRP for the HK B-17. Street price probably around $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch! The Brexiting Quid puts that almost in HpH territory. We don't get many "deals" in the land-of-UK. But I'd so like a Navy sub-hunter. And, apart from masking copious glazing, a PB4Y-1 decor could be airbrushed totally freehand. Why is this duo so much more appealing than the Flying Fortress vier motors? All that oil canning to do ? My gosh, if HpH does a properly wrinkled B-52D I might bite the hook. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Griewski Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 These big kits make great wall hangings. I have my B-25 hanging nose down on the wall in my work room. They also look good box framed and hung. The house may need two glass coffee tables, one for the Felixstowe and one for the B-24.

Tony Just a thought, but just maybe US LSP brothers can, from time to time, help our European brothers with ugh priced kits when the stupidity factor kicks in? Funds to purchase and ship are forwRded in USD, and the purchased the gift is forwarded on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssculptor Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 references ready! If I had these many reference books I could see making lots of 1/72 B-24's and have them hanging from the ceiling as if in formation. And closer to the ceiling more B-24's but in a smaller scale, 1/100 or whatever i could find. At a lower elevation some 1/48 scale B-24's and up close a 1/32 B-24. Imagine a 1000 plane raid in your display room. Stephen David66 and Smokeyforgothispassword 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Howie Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I actually think these will come in quite a bit cheaper than HK's B-17. HK have very high prices worldwide beung more expensive than say the ZM Do-335 and ZM are not cheap either. Both are considerably more expensive than similar sized Trumpeter kits. Mid to high 200's is where i am putting my money. Out2gtcha and Iain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I think regardless of what HB lists the new Libs for, I think you will soon enough after they come out be able to pick one up for the mid $200s or less eventually I'm hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappy1 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Yes . I still have not been able to retrieve my Devastators from the ocean floor near midway and I've given up hope on one from Trump. I would love a B-24 D but I wont hold my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
