Kagemusha Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 The UK price is beyond a joke, the price in the States is $169.95 = £108, no doubt the kit will be available from HK ebay sellers for about the US price, they have to be competative... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I will agree the UK price is a joke, but not a surprise. When I saw $170 I thought yep that will be £170 and I hate to be proved right. I think also a lot of people would have got one at £100 to £125 but £170, no I dont think so. Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin ritchie Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Count me in the No catagory , now I've spent more on a kit in the past, for example my ZM Sykraider order came to around £200, but I have to think that the £170 is a mistake on the part of whoever is setting the UK price , I'm used to shelling out big bucks for 32nd kits , but this is just too much , when compared to the US price , to mind unjustifiably so .. I know I can probably bring it in from the far east , or the Us, but again we face the wrath of HMRC.. and the with that the price differential just disappears... £110-£130 I could justify, but 170 , no way , especially not on new company ..

Iain Ogilvie Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I'm of a similar view too - £100 - £120 would be my max - even though I'd love a Mitchell... Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar2 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 When these were first mooted they were going to be around £75 each. So what happend to raise the price by another £100? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDH Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I would love a 1/32 B-25 but the UK price is just too much. Goodness knows what the B-17 and Lancaster price will be. If I bought one then it would be from a US or Hong Kong supplier. Get it shipped to my daughter in Dallas and then bring it home when I next visit her. That way I can benefit from the US pricing and avoid any chance of import costs if I bought via eBay/the web. It'll be probably be the same with the WingsXL kits. However their proposed Mosquito is a must so I'll watch the prices of these with great interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiffy Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) I also had pre-ordered one when they were originally announced. At that price though, I think I'll stick with my collection of 48th Monogram Mitchells. Edited February 24, 2012 by Smiffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redcap Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I took delivery of my 1/32 B-25 undercarriage metal set yesterday from Ali at AEROCRAFT MODELS and it is a superb piece of work with tremendous details and fit. Given these B-25 kits need about 8 ozs of weight up front to avoid being a tail sitter (see any review), I have zero confidence in the kits plastic detailed but structurally weak undercarriage set holding up over time. If you are going to spend £150+ on base kit, plus AM and then probably 100+ hours working on it, why skimp on ensuring that it will stay on its legs for a mere £25.00...? Buy with 100% confidence in a great product and at a great price. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
