Dave Gibson Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Picked one up from Hannants today. Ive only had a quick scan through , but it looks good. Im dropping everything for this one! I see Hannants have reduced the price of the CA Gannet to 39-95/34-00 ... Wonder if they're giving refunds to those who've already bought the kit. Good news for Jules though. dave.

Good news for Jules though. dave. Is It? I would have thought that once he has exported his stock ,He has made his money . Doesn't matter to him if the kits Like most CA kits become shelf - sitters .

Doesn't matter to him if the kits Like most CA kits become shelf - sitters . MY thinking on this (having just received an e-mail from Hannants) IS THIS; Hannants have realised that as soon as the Trumpeter kit arrives- any unsold C.A. stock will be fit for the trash. They obviously have an agreement with Classic ripoffs Airframes to take so many- or such a percentage of each new kit they produce. im sure they would rather not that option on this kit but have to abide by the agreement. A price drop will sell more of them , more quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest les Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Yep looking to take this one up as the last C.A. kits were quality Nope just got the £40.00 out and set light to it. Lot easier and saved on postage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karl Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 It looks quite good from the pictures, but not £40 good. I'm more than happy with the rather nice Dynavector Gannet in my stash, even more so given that I paid about half what the CA kit is going for. Still, wouldn't say no if I saw one gong cheap - I'm still looking for a cheap CA Supermarine Attacker, or another kit manufacturer to do a 1/48 kit.... Cheers.

I would guess that Hannants being one of the bigger players, were responsible for setting the £45 price tag - My guess would be that they got a lot of negative feed back and/or lack of pre sales and have taken steps accordingly. Still way too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
