I'd divide your estimates by four. Edited March 16, 2019 by Laurent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Polc Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 With majority of kits divide by five. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom R Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Hey Special Hobby Guys - Here is Jan Polc and Laurent XXX 's projection of sales for a couple of your 1/48 potential releases 1/48 Vickers Vildebeeste - 20 -200 sales 1/48 Bristol Beaufort - 2,000 to 4,000 sales So which one are you going to do?

petr@SpecialHobby Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 I am not sure I am allowed to let the cat out of the bag, but just the other day, I glimpsed some Hickory moulds being worked on. So I think our hopes (of us, modellers) will come to fruition one day, soon...

Greg Law Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 These are all great releases, but not one id a Beaufort. You would be surprised how many people want a 1/48 scale Beaufort. Remember this wasn't only a British plane. It was in the RAAF and RNZAF as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petr@SpecialHobby Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 Oh yes Greg, you are quite right, I know. Our friends Down Under who have been so kind as to provide extensive references for this kit are becoming impatient as well. But, as I have told them - first things first, we are focusing now on finishing project which are very close to the release date and new things will come just after that.

petr@SpecialHobby Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 Hello Fin, I cannot see this project in our schedule for this year nor for the coming one. Perhaps in some more distant future? Definitely cannot promise anything now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
