How are people pre-ordering this? I can't find any reference to it on the Eduard website at all, despit searching for both "B-26" and "Marauder" and also manually searching through their entire 1/72 kit offering

From what I understand, Eduard don't put new products on their site until they're in-stock and available for ordering... I don't think you can pre-order from Eduard at all.  They list upcoming products in their "Leaflet for Distributors", but the items won't appear on the website until they're available for the public to buy.

Not sure if it will be available in the Eduard shop anytime soon - in the Eduard leaflet they write it was

 sold out [to distributors] already. It is available for backorder at Hannants though.

There is plenty at retailers worldwide, Eduard still sells them through their website, as they mentioned they left 300? for direct sales.

Yep, seen a few more as you say.

Managed to get one!

Received !
First inbox look: Looks goood. :)

 

I've just noticed the woman pilot on the box is Maureen Dunlop, 'poster girl' of the ATA (Air Transport Auxiliary), who passed away in 2012. She may even have flown a B-26 at some point.

And the overtrees have already sold out 😢

Those overtrees did sell out very quickly. I wonder how many they had to sell?

Less than originally planned. As the boss (Mr. Šulc) says it, he made a late decision to decrease the planned number of overtrees by 100 and produce hundred more full kits instead. I do not know what's Eduard's deal with Hasegawa, but I expect the number of plastic sets to be fixed.

That’s good info thanks. I can understand why he did that, profit margins and so on.

 

Shame though, some overtrees for the stash would have been nice as I probably won’t bother with a full kit.
