dreamwriter Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Here in Portugal it will cost about 92€ plus shipping. And there is at least one evilbay shop selling it for 84.99€ plus shipping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasegawa released two versions of Coastal Command Liberator https://hlj.com/product/HSG01960/Air https://hlj.com/product/HSG02241/Air Their cost, in Japan, was about £32.00 ($44.00) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you’re paying for a book and numerous decal choices from which you will only be using one ? mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackman Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Apart from the book and the decal choices, are there any part differences in this boxing that cannot be found in others ( eg, Academy/Minicraft & standard Hasegawa boxing)? I too find the price to be .....breathtaking. As in , it took my breath away . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I see. I always thought the turret parts were standard on the Academy & Hasegawa kits. I didn't realize the Eduard parts were different. Thank you.

Bomb Bay doors, Rockets and racks, Tires, set of 4 Brassin Engines . . . $$$$$$!!! You can really go to town detailing one of these kits out. This kit is light years beyond the old Revell 1/72 B-24 I built as a kid, but then kits were considered toys back then. I have a 27% off coupon from Eduard that I may use to buy just the this kit. Shipping's free when my cart hits $150. If I buy one and pimp it out it will be beautiful. It's a pity I won't be around when some relative tosses it in the trash 50 years from now.

They've done it for all their recent boxings of Hasegawa kits. So you will get original Hasegawa sprues plus Eduard's two New Tool sprues to do GR Mk.III and GR Mk.V Liberators. You just won't get any decals, masks, or photetch. As a guide the 1/48 Crusader Overtrees were $34.95. If you have a friend who also wants this kit it's time to have that conversation? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoondog13 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 So, apart from the book, the numerous decal choices,the repoped B-24, the rockets, the armament, the new sprues,and Brassin, what has Eduard ever done for us? (Sorry I couldn't help myself having a flashback to the Romans). "Keep smiling while you still have teeth" Cheers Rod 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Eduard are doing Overtrees, you can buy the conversion parts separately if you already have a Hasegawa B-24 or buy both the kit and conversion parts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ordered a set. Strangely they're listed for a GR.V or GR.VI not the Mk.III of the main kit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy G Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 The main overtrees, i.e. not the conversion set, are showing as discontinued :-( 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killingholme Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) Ouch!! I remember paying HALF that for the Eduard boxing of the (Academy-based) RAF Liberator MK.VI. That boxing also featured the Big Ed set and a bespoke decal sheet. Even with a premium for the resin conversion, someone's having a laugh somewhere.

I see some sellers on eBay offering the 1/72 kit for around $53 with free shipping from Japan. Decals included! However it looks like Eduard is boxing all the parts so you may make a B-24J. Interesting. I think Eduard will try to pump out the conversion sprues to maximize their profits on those tools. Either way the Rider's in the Sky kit is very expensive, but it's a unique subject. I may forgo buying a few Bf-109s, P-51s, and Focke Wulfs to get one of these kits. Eduard will be offering a Bunny Fighter Club version in April. There's time on the clock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I think Eduard teaming up with Hasegawa is having a effect on all their prices, from PE to Brassin to kits just lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
