Has anyone actually contacted Hannants to ask which version they'll receive if they buy the kit from them?  It's possible they're shipping the new ones under the old listing.

 

Of course, it's just as possible they're holding the new ones in reserve until they sell out their inventory of the old kit, though I'd have thought they'd mark them down to shift them faster.

The Hannants website lists the two 'versions' of the Avantgarde 1:48 Kfir C2/7 with different Reference Nos so the potential buyer should/would be in no doubt as to which kit they would receive. The old version is currently listed (with the old style box top)....the new, revised, version has yet to arrive but I have little doubt that Hannants will post a photo of the new box top (with the revised reference number) in due course so the buyer will be in no doubt about which kit they are getting.

It looks like Hannants are waiting for stocks of the old kits to go before making the newer one available. AMK have insisted that Hannants have the newer issue in stock! It's getting jolly frustrating waiting as I want to buy the new one ;)

Both Hannants and ModelBauKönig have it as pre-order. I have not seen it in-stock anywhere yet.

as I want to convert it to a C10 using a Wingman conversion in onme of the upcoming group builds her on BM, I'd like to use the best base model available... not the old one .... ;)

 

fingers corssed it arrives soon!

Too bad, I phoned them long-distance just to try to find out what version they would be receiving, but I guess that my Danish was much worse than what his English was, so the bloke would be on the telephone line kinda like Klaus Meine when he goes like "Get outa the we..." (instead of way) in the song Bad Boys Running Wild, by Scorpions. :hmmm:

And that's not to even start speaking about Rudolph Schenker...

What makes you think that a German understands Danish? :o
