MarkoZG 129 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 By far the best and most exciting announcement from my point of view. Looking forward for these kits! Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Callahan 903 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Though the He-114 has been done by Planet and Mach 2, at least the canopy will be injected plastic and usable! So I likely will pick one up eventually, though it might not be tops on my wish list. Link to post Share on other sites
JWM 12,484 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I hope they will do it on basis on right drawings, the Mach 2 kit has wrong proportions, I do not know the Planet resin one. The boxart looks very promising regarding details and general layout - it does look like He-114. Anyway congrats to Bat for finding apparent gap in market!

Basuroy 1,794 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 50$ for THAT ??? Are they for real ? Special hobby sells similar sized kits for 15$ and so does every other manufacturer. 50$ is the upper end of 4 engine heavy bomber category price tag. Link to post Share on other sites
MarkoZG 129 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I was really excited about this release, but the reason behind such a horrible price might be in the size of run. 200 examples of each boxing, meaning the total output of 600 units from the tool, which is way under any economical sense. Such a low run means high unit costs and to be honest, I don't see the reason for such decision. What a great turn off! Link to post Share on other sites
