LanceB Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 It would be a lowdown dirty shame if there was no open bomb bay option - but the doors are obviously molded shut, as per that picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LanceB Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 1 hour ago, AmaruTG said: It was deemed probably too complex for a limited run mould. Well if they cannot mold the bomb bay they aren't going to be able to mold the cockpits or gear bays, any of which are more complex than the bomb bay. Which would mean they are going to need resin (and I would bet they have already decided to use resin bits for the cockpit). So, it just comes down to cost. If there is no bomb bay, the only reason would be to keep the final price down - but leaving the bay out (if, indeed that is the plan) seems like such a waste considering the scale.

Kagemusha Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 The bomb bay is open on their resin kit, so perhaps the parts will be included to do so with the IM kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Largescale32 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 The website is online now: http://infinitymodels.cz Helldiver can be pre-ordered for $89,- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Largescale32 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 There are some problems with the pre-order site. I think it´s better to wait. That´s the message I´ve got from Jiri Hodan, Infinity Models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I managed to get through the pre order page and am waiting for a reply. Cheers Dennis Edit: just read the above post more closely, will hang fire then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony.t Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Looks very appealing. Presumably, HpH/Infinity will offer resin bay and wing-folds as optional extras ? Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
