71chally Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I'm trying to understand that. Valom release a kit of an airliner, leave out the interior, and then sell another kit of just the interior? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fleming Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Plenty who wouldn't bother with the interior (Me included) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasermonkey Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Well, I guess that it keeps the base kit cheaper, which is fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71chally Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 The base kit is £50 quid, I would expect a complete kit, whether I built all of it or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branky Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 The base kit is about 40 Euro's in Holland..... about 35 UKP... Do I miss something?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, the price indicated on the BIG 'H' site is £49.99, or 10% less for pre-orders, so that is where the price is coming from......so we will have to see. cheers Ali 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali62 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Just seen, fellow trader on BM Tiger Hobbies have these for pre-order, the two kits are priced differently, not sure why, but any how have a look under his forum page and link to his website.

Kevin Callahan Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I've got the Valom B-45 and Sparrow in the short queue, but this may jump the line when it appears. Some excellent type choices by Valom, although they can still be a challenge to actually build. But keep em comin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I am very glad to see it already with price in offerts of model shops in Poland. It meens - soon I will invite one Albatros to my house J-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
averarandy Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Separate elevators! Isn't this new for Valom, having separate control surfaces? areva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Holden Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 The shape of Valom's engine nacelles where they intersect with the wing are a much blunter shape than on the other recent kit by AIM: I wonder which is correct ? I was immediately surprised by Valom's shape on what is a very aerodynamically refined aircraft...i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhaselden Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Yikes, those nacelle fairings into the wings do look wrong. Finding decent pics of the area is difficult but the few I've found suggest far less prominent fairings: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Holden Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 The shape on the AIM kit upper surface looks much better and seems fairly close. The lower surface is clearly more bulbous, but it's hard to say whether they got it right without better photos of that area. Guess I won't be tossing my old AirCraft vacform kit just yet.....

Yes - a bit dissapointing that within 30 seconds one can find flaws in brand new mould... Anyway I will buy and try to correct, I think.

occa Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Estimating 3D shapes from photos obviously is a skill not everybody owns ... the blending of the engine nacelles into the wings is total fantasy and apparently based on approximate assumptions. Edit: I see where the error is, the shapes of the engine-wing blends on the lower sides (where they appear to be correct) are erroneously mirrored onto the upper sides 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatalbert Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) Those wings look blooming awful 🙁,one of the reasons I like that aircraft is because of how streamlined it was,am a bit disappointed to be honest.Think am gonna hold off on this one until I've seen some reviews and builds.
