zebra Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Did I miss an announcement that the Beaufort has been released? There were several on the shelves of Metro Hobbies in Melbourne today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve received a shipping notice to say they are packed and on their way. I thought it might be a hoax, however your post makes me feel a whole lot better. Happy days! Cheers..

Dave Just had a look on the Airfix website and it still says it's on pre-order - seems very strange that it's in the shops here already, we usually have to wait ages for new Airfix releases.

I hear ya mate.. still waiting for the Spitfire Vc to hit my LHS, so getting this Beaufort before anyone in the UK is very strange... mind you, I’m not complaining!! So did you buy one?

So did you buy one? Somehow persuaded myself not to! It wouldn't fit in my build plans for a while and I've got enough online purchases on their way to me to get past Mrs Z as it is so I decided to leave it for now. Then again my resolve might be a bit weaker the next time I go for a lunchtime walk in the CBD... They had the Spitfire Vc as well. And the 1/48 civvie Mk.XIV. Looked like they'd had a pretty big Airfix delivery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trenton guy Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 This has happened before. The, at the time, much anticipated and much delayed Swift showed up in my LHS in New Jersey when it wasn’t available anywhere else in the world. Do they do this to torture us?

Flyboy72nd Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Ooh, that's funny (not ha ha ) I just the 'your 2 Beauforts are in' e-mail, from the Big H, so am guessing they are finding a suitable box for shipping???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornet133 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Has happened before. Way, way back the FROG PV-1 Ventura was on sale in Sydney (the local shop got one container full which sold out in 3 days) but was never sold retail in the U.K where it was made before FROG went bust. No I didn't buy one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafwaffe Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Was “in stock” at frontline hobbies here in Australia last night . I ordered two last night and now it’s showing them as “sold out” on the webpage. Curious to see if they get sent and turn up this week or if I get a refund...

I assumed the kits were boxed n the UK but I guess they go straight to other countries and the ones coming to the UK are taking a bit longer.
