Blue_Centurion Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) I recently purchased the 1/32 F/A-18F of Trumpeter and it arrived yesterday. It has it's shortcomings but I purposely did not order the "Echo" because of the Revell new tool coming out. Not only is it a new tool, it is roughly 50% less in cost when compared to Trumpy. I figured I could not go wrong there. As far as pricing is concerned, Asian kits (especially Chinese) have become over the top expensive. When you consider the cheap labor costs over there, someone is making some good profits. I believe the importer here in the States is pulling in some serious profit at the same time. Mark-up is 40% on the vast majority of kits from the distributor. Your prices in the UK and Eurozone are generally more than over here.

GreenDragon Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Is that Enterprise in 350th scale really the D? Got to be a typo unless that is the something big that Round 2 are announcing soon?

I am however pleased to see the Heinkel HE-177 returning. Out of the new tool items, the AN-225 at nearly £90 is out of my price league!!.Otherwise, unimpressed and underwhelmed.

Haven't bought a Hasegawa kit (new or second hand ) in over a decade. With new items/manufacturers appearing all the time,I would disagree with the arguments about dwindling markets or, people being priced out. A lot of foreign produced (particularly Asian) kits might actually be relatively cheap where they are made and only really become expensive when exported and, we are then gouged by the importers/distributors? Revell, to their credit and, despite my disappointment at the rather poor (in my view) release list still manage to produce some of the best value for money kits around.

GreenDragon Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Got an email from Revell with new release list and it says the Bronco is a cooperation so probably Academy? Price on Hannants seems pretty steep at £17.99 (RRP £19.99). I've got six Academy kits in the stash and seem to remember the most I paid was around £6-£7, the majority of them for a lot less than that.

Paul Harrison you can pick the academy ov-10A up at the for £8 of ebay with free delivery from Korea, the only benefit with the revell kit will be a decal sheet you can actualy use but then again revell are giving limited decal options these days .

The price is often 33-50% less than what is asked on ebay , amazon or by European and American hobby shops . Shipping rates ( SAL registered ) are very affordable as well .

mirageiv Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 A 1/32 Mirage IIIE for less than £50 (which I assume is the Italeri kit) is very good! I'm hoping Revell ventures more into the 1/32 jet market with these well priced kits, so many subjects to do that are currently either silly prices, way outdated or non existent.

Vladan Dugaric Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 It may be the old Revell's 1/32 Mirage IIIE (original 1983 boxing #4741), although the label "Cooperation" indicates rebox of Italeri kit, unless it is a typo and they meant to say "Reintro".
