Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 That's gonna upset the e-bay sellers......The old Supernodel kits have been punted for silly money! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
occa Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Fully upgraded, what does that mean? Improved or just cleaned up ? Anyways the color / decalling options are great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Same as they've done to a couple of the other Supernodel kits, rudimentary interior, better clear bits and a small etch fret......Unlikely to justify the expected initial RRP, I suspect, but it will probably become available on e-bay in a month or two at a more sensible price.

Albeback52 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Couple of EBAY listings by European sellers. One at £19.48 & the other at £22.67. Not unreasonable I think.Hefty postage though - £13.46 & 10.20 respectively. Hopefully these kits might be indicative of UK r r p but, you never know with Rip Off UK Inc! The big H has it listed as a future release with price tba. However, they have the CANT Z 501 at £22.50 so, that might give an indication. The 501 is a very nice kit despite its age. Think I first bought that round about 1976!!! Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalea Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 29.5 Euros on the Italeri site. What's your rate of exchange? The local peso is plummeting, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalea Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) 3 RAAF had a z 501. RAF apparently had at least 3 HK 977,HK978 and HK 979 after Italian surrender. What happened to one that was hijacked? Edited July 2, 2015 by dalea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pivokrevnik Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Pricing is horrible, it retails here for 710 CZK (GBP = 37 CZK), for comparison, Italeri Savoia S.79 sells for 350 CZK. What is even more horrible - I will buy it anyway, actually in about 15 minutes I am off to a local shop instead of lunch, as I can't wait. I can only pat myself on my back I resisted the "upgraded" CR.32 with the 1960s style fabric wings, yuck. On the contrary the Airone looks like a reasonably modern kit, no matter what "upgrades" were actually made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
