593jones Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Looks very nice, I wonder how it will stack up against the Takom Chieftains? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepSea Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Any idea on where it might land price wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I would say "more than" the Takom offering, but a lot will depend on the importers, shipping etc. Mike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using their Panther D as a comparison (both companies produce one), the Meng UK RRP is £45 and Takom is £70, IIRC the Meng one doesn't include the interior, so if the same pattern follows with the Chieftain, you could be looking at the same kind of price differential.

DeepSea Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Thanks all. I've a Takom on the way but could very much be tempted by this one as well... Now to find some decent reference on the Berlin ones for some Diorama ideas🧐 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IT_Man Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Big H now offering this one for sale at £75. https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/MMTS-051?result-token=AtLtm Probably a no for me on that basis, but will wait and see what the inevitable comparisons to the Takom kit say.

MikeR Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Yeah, saw that too, I wish I could say I'm surprised, but I'm not. Most of that price will no doubt be the cost of shipping it from China and importing into the UK. Mike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that shipping container cost is now about 4-5 times what it was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
