SleeperService Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 Looking good. Hopefully they will be able to ship to the UK when it gets released.

In 1/48 the E555 would be similar to the Airfix Vulcan in terms of wing area/span.I brush painted my Vulcans so, I wouldn't have a problem with the (hypothetical) Arado.. I don't own an airbrush anyway!. When I built the Revell E.555, I stuffed weight into the wing leading edges. As it was forward of the main undercarriage, it worked fine. I suggest a similar approach might work with this model unless of course the manufacturer kindly provides weights? Allan I'm wondering if a cheap 72nd scale 'old' Airfix Vulcan can be obtained and re-roled??
Thom216 Posted March 27, 2021 Posted March 27, 2021 I'll be looking to add this to the dusty Stash! 1
Tokyo Raider Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) This plane is not that big in 1/48 scale... wingspan is about 11.5inch and shorter than a normal airplane because its tail-less... 1/48 is a great scale for these luft46 airplanes! Edited March 28, 2021 by Tokyo Raider 1

Harold55 Posted May 21, 2021 Posted May 21, 2021 Luckymodel shows it at $35, which is certainly not bad. This is a mile off from the suggested retail price of $75 on Modelcollect's site. I would agree the the $75 is too rich for my blood but $35 seems very attractive and if you need other kits LuckyModel often has shipping deals for the slow boat method (at least to the US). 1

Do they actually have stock, or is it a pre-sale listing?

alt-92 Posted May 21, 2021 Posted May 21, 2021 The reason I'm questioning that price quote is that every other B-52 variant they've done goes for around 90€ in this part of the world.

I have never bought a kit as a pre-release so understand the scepticism, but there are lots of modelers that do. They do have a couple versions of B-52's in stock so its a good sign that they actually carry Modelcollect kits and they are much cheaper than the 90€ that was noted. My only point was don't write this kit off completely due to cost as you might be able to find a good deal on it. Edited May 22, 2021 by Harold55 Sp
Trenton guy Posted May 22, 2021 Posted May 22, 2021 I have dealt with Lucky Model and found them to be very reliable and reasonable in price. They always tell you if it is in stock or not. They list this one as a future release. 1

Eivind Lunde Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 There is a guy who built an RC version of this and it looks like it flies beautifully. Not the most far fetched of the "Luft 46" projects it seems: 1
Tokyo Raider Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 This kit looks fantastic. I have a deep stash like most of you. But this kit i plan to build as soon as i get it!!! Cant wait! 1
