VMA131Marine Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 There are much better deals on eBay; one seller in Estonia has the kit for about US$57 including shipping to the US. But UK buyers will have to add VAT and any additional import duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectroSoldier Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 No sorry I think you missed the point. First 4 results for this on google "Zvezda 7325 American Military Transport Plane C-130J 1/72" Scalemates scalemodelshop £62.99 themodelworkshop £59.49 carmodel €54.95 (£48.58) There are cheaper if you look further down the list, in fact £69.99 is by far and away the most expensive price for it. £40 inc VAT and import duties but without shipping... £29.99 is a lot... +75% on top!

IT_Man Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 The UK RRP (£69.99) is set by the UK Importer (The Hobby Company). Hannants just choose not to participate in the "race to the bottom" by discounting (presumably given their market position they don't need to). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isnt that like saying that Hannants use their popularity in the market to rinse as much money out of their customers as possible though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IT_Man Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) I'd say it's their prerogative to charge as they see fit. If they were charging above RRP (as Jadlam do for Humbrol paints - £3.85 vs £2.49 on Airfix site), I think that is worse. (They'll have their reasons for that decision, but if you were to order all the paints for a kit that could be a significant bonus!)

LN-KEH Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 To me Hannants does not compete on price, but on reliability and keeping stock. If I want something that is not available in Norway, I check with Hannants - either by mail order or for picking up in the Hendon shop next time I visit London. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Thats just it, hannants is about stock, if you want floats for a Fairy Flyfisher, wheels for a Miles Moron, a canopy mask for Gloster Greenhouse and an AZ Mig22 they've almost certainly got them all. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cicarista Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I see that AC-130J has two different side sensors. The one just behind front gun. On first and third picture is one type, and on last picture is second type. First one is way more rounded and second is more streamlined... I see same two types on real planes but don't know the difference. Anyone got any info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
