buzz Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 ^ Remember that Ray is going to be reboxing it with screen-printed decals (not laser like in the EE boxing). And sure to be cheaper than pretty much everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone has to do the Braniff 'Baby Orange' scheme surely to goodness. @Tommy Mogren - 747SP.com Already started that one 😁 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Morris Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Just received the Eastern Express newsletter. They say they are planning to release the 747SP in mid-November. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janneman36 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 @26Decals thanks for sharing. I don’t think they will take half price 😂 Nice kit ..bad price😖 still hanging on to the old welsh kit then.. cheers, Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ka-Efka Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 EUR100,-... sigh... I know EE is rather expensive, and I have a soft spot for the SP (and the good old WB Airbuses), but this is hard to convince myself... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Aer Lingus Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 agree with most posters it seems very expensive compared to some of their other larger options but I will reserve judgement until I see how good the moulds are up close.

I know EE is rather expensive, and I have a soft spot for the SP (and the good old WB Airbuses), but this is hard to convince myself... Add the VAT, import duty and post office handling charge and by my reckoning it will be >£120 in the UK That's not far off double what I was expecting it to be. Much as I really want a 747SP to convert into a model of SOFIA, at that price I may have to reconsider getting the Welsh Models kit offering or just abandoning the project ☹️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1978 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I ordered one yesterday.Was shocked about the high price tag,but its an SP...😊 I probably will start a WIP here once I received the kit. Cant wait for it to arrive 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71chally Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Damn, that is expensive. I wanted to buy and build multiple SPs, but can't at that price. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I might have been keen to do a Qantas one as flew overhead ex Wgtn one upon a time. Reckon I'll be living on my memories now. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26Decals Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 Probably not, I was hoping they would be a similar price to the MD-11 but at almost £75 it is overpriced. I will however be doing some screen printed decals for it starting with Braniff Cheers Ray 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it's >£100 I will have some SOFIA decals for sale! Just done a quick bit of maths on the difference between EE's EBay shop prices and what Hannants price EE kits at. By my reckoning we are possibly looking at the Hannants price being £130 😱 😱😱😱😱 Way too rich for me. ☹️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26Decals Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 Hi all. Good news, I will now be reboxing the 747Sp kit with my decals 😁. They will hopefully be available February / March as I will have to wait for them to be delivered before I can test fit the decals before sending them for screen printing. Price to be confirmed but I am hoping to keep them below £60.00 each. Cheers Ray. 7 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
