Cees Broere Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 WoW, just spotted this, the TV is my favorite Dutch aircraft. I usually only build 1/32 these days but an exception is possible. Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robvd Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 looking cool. Now keep my fingers crossed for a 1/48 version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroubos Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Strange that they make a separate boxing for this, the German T-Vs were war booty. They are not similar to the Dutch planes, they ARE the Dutch planes with some swastikas painted on. These could easily have been combined into a single boxing. I doubt many will buy the German boxing but maybe my chauvinism blinds me there to the realities of the market place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branky Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 After having a hefty discussion with Vaclav Lominsky about this he insist on doing three boxing to increase his sales. he is very persistent with this... We are now contempalting an aftermarket decalsheet containing all three options so it would not matter what boxing you buy but it will then add to the cost... There is no difference between the three boxings, only the decals. These are now being redone as the first attempt contained errors. But all in all the Dutcgh Modellers are looking forward to the kkit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 You will only want to use one transfer option per kit, so why should it matter if they come in different boxes? I can see why multiple boxes can be considered as widening the market for a given tooling. After all, there are a number of other manufacturers already using this approach for identical parts provision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branky Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Well, the trick is actually simple, Valom put some of the risk of the investment inj his kits with the retailers. Instead of having to only stock one kit the retailer now has to stock several in the hope to please his customers , therefore buying more kits than he would have done if only one boxing was available. Voila. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, there are a number of other manufacturers already using this approach for identical parts provision. Well, call me old-fashioned, but I prefer having choice over not having choice. The fact that other manufacturers do it as well does not change that. AZ do the same thing and it ticks me off there as well. Of course you could argue that you still have choice, only that you decide what to build before you buy instead of after, but in some cases I want to build the plane but I don't know what variant to build. With AZs S-199 for instance I basically got a kit at random at SWM 2014 from their large variety of versions, and after getting it home and doing some reading on the type I regretted not getting another version. Also having different boxings means more stock management and consequently higher cost. Standardization is always cheaper.

Voila. I wonder how well that works in the long run. At the Aviation Megastore in the Netherlands there were huge unsold stacks of Fokker F-VIIs with non-KLM decal sets. These would all have sold in no time had Valom standardized their boxings and included KLM decals as an option in all of them. I would not be surprised if the retailers adjust their behavior as a result of this, leaving Valom with unsold stock.

Branky Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Third box is indeed a pre war example with roundels. Originally also the prototype 850 was contemplated but as the tailsection differs for which Valom did not cater it was dropped. The black numbers will however still be on the sheet.

MarkoZG Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Now you see, Valom lost a chance for not providing parts for the prototype which had some differences. I must second Sroubos opinion and without prototype option, I will buy only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroubos Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I didn't even know the prototype had a different tail section - that's a bit of a bummer as I had earmarked one of my two preordered copies for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branky Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Oh, neither dit Vaclav. But he said that he might do a future boxing (4th) with some resin tailplanes so you can build the silver 850 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalea Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Is the Grey shown in the box art correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branky Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Not, there is no grey in the Duch Camouflage scheme. It should be beige. There were two different patterns in the schemes but the colours were the same. Brown, green and Beige But Vaclav used the drawing in the Dutch profile for this preliminary! box art and this shows the beige as grey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
