salomon Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I second that, there's really no any justification of that pricing at all, that's my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not recall the asking price but bet this was way lower than what Eduard is asking. I really hope someone else will jump the train and the prices for rivet decals will come down a bit (though not very lilekly as all prices seem to take the other way...). That said Archer rivet decals for a Fw190 in 1:32 are about 90 USD - so the question is if 65 Euro for the Eduard decals is already a reasonable price and I have to find another soloution instead of waiting for a better offer. Here it is. Could only get it through pre-order of the kit. No longer available. Shame. 500 Rubles/ 7.08 USD https://arma-models.ru/catalog/dekali/am4843_dekal_obemnaya_dlya_imitatsii_zaklepok_mi_24_ot_zvezdy/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salomon Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Yes that's the reference idem that I've got, raisonable price but not yet using that decal, I think there's not bad surprise after all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spruecutter96 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I'm sorry, folks, but I can't see the point of spending lots of money on rivet-sets, when most of the details involved should have been produced on the kit in the first place. Obviously, how people spend their money is entirely their own business, but some of these upgrade sets' prices are plain ridiculous, to be frank. Chris.

Jon Bryon Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I think the pricing is about right for this kind of product. I want to use Archer resin rivets on an Academy 1/48 CH-46 this year and I reckon that will cost me about £50 just for rows of rivets. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas V. Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 i think somebody has lost the plot at Eduard, and at the same time I truely do think they are the best model company in the world today-from quality to pricing, but Rosie The... pricing is outrageous, I don't recall any 1/48 accessory being so expensive comparable to the price of the model its designed to complement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do335b6 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I've used many HGW rivet sets and have been pleased I like this one but no way I will pay more for it than the kit cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calum Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I always find it funny watching people complain about the price of stuff in our hobby. As if they know what it cost to develop the product or what the manufacturer wants to make in profit. Neither of those are possibly true. What they are really saying is , Oh I'd like that but I either can't afford it or I am not prepared to pay that. Both those are valid points of view - But they are "you" problems .. Not the manufacturers problem. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the manufacturers problem. Hmm... You are of course totally right. Let's put it in a different way. I personally like that riveting set a lot. I also would have liked Zwezda zu include the RIVETS from the beginning. I have ~6 of these Hinds in my stash, one on the bench. I can afford buying a set, maybe I am going nuts soon and I even do for the sheer interest and the masochistic aspect of the hobby But for me personally again, the price to added value relation is not quite there... 1,5 to 2 times the kit price is steep, simply. I do not care for that matter if a product is cost effective to develop or produce, that is the manufacturers' problem indeed But if I does not sell in quantities, the development cost at least is not worth it. If production cost is that high, you might need to revisit your production technique. But, time and market will tell I am happy to follow this developments and happy that we have innovative companies out there! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullofit Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) They’re probably just waiting for things to calm down before ordering sprues from Zvezda. They’re even planning to rebox Zvezda’s Su-25. Edited October 17, 2022 by Fullofit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stakor Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Seems alien will be a separate boxing. If they will have problem with sprues it could be released just as a decal sheet just like the rivets. I'm excited to see this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, there are plenty ways to build default Zvezda`s kit with any markings at your taste. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
