flarpen Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Any idea of the retail of this?, wonder if they mean test shots or the full kit boxed ready for sale? Shaun. It's retailed for £64.99 at Hannants. If you hurry up you can get 10% preorder discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Oh my God... Has there ever been a kit so eagerly anticipated? Not by me, that's for sure! I know where I'll be heading as the doors open in Telford on the 8th November... After a coffee and a bacon roll that is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerbannog Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Oh my God... Has there ever been a kit so eagerly anticipated? Not by me, that's for sure! I know where I'll be heading as the doors open in Telford on the 8th November... After a coffee and a bacon roll that is! Yes it has - the Italeri F-104 in 1:32 in the more recent past. By me at least. But after the reviwes I decided to wait for AFV, though it has become a bit silent about their Starfighter. But the Viggen is on my Hannants backorder list since they listed it - so yes I await it even more eagerly than the Starfigher. Hope it will include masks for the splinter scheme (hope - do not really believe it). Rene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flarpen Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 From Rebell Hobby newsletter (Maestro Models) Och sist men absolut inte minst! VIGGEN I 1/48 Tarangus har fått första produktionsbatchen! Så nu finns den att beskåda - även om vi tyvärr får ha tålamod till i december, då huvudproduktionen körs. Vi har fått ett fåtal av dem, för att kunna visa upp och trösta alla tålmodiga spekulanter i deras kval. Translation reads: And last but not least! VIGGEN in 1/48 Tarangus have received the first production batch! So it's now available to behold - but we have to hold out until December for the main production run. We have a few of them to show up for all patient speculators in their torment of waiting. /Johan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbolt Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I'm looking forward to seeing this at Telford, I'd love to see them do an SF recce bird as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDragon Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) In the original announcement Tarrangus said the JA will be from them, then MPM does the AJ and SK, and all other versions will be done by Tarrangus so I assume there will be an SF and SH later and possibly the Electronic Warfare version too. Wonder if they'll do the later upgraded ones that carried the RB 15F anti ship missiles?

Bjorn Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I'm looking forward to seeing this at Telford, I'd love to see them do an SF recce bird as well. Yes, they will. I have seen a few parts, among them the recce nose that looked very nice. I assume there will be an SF and SH later and possibly the Electronic Warfare version too. I guess that there will be no separate releases for the SH and 37E. But the only visible difference between the AJ and SH is the camera pod - and I am pretty sure that this one will be released in resin by Maestro Models. And there will probably be photo-etched sets for the 37E electronic warfare version. I know that there will be one for the AJS version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Only just over a week to go! I think my trek to Telford will be solely in order that I can grab one of these! I mean, what else is there coming out that is anywhere near as anticipated as this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Will they actually be for sale at Telford? I don't think so. Release is planned to late November/early December from what I have heard. And I think that the first MPM release (AJ 37, I guess) will be in early 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
