AlCZ Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I'm sceptic for Big scale new tool Phantom II. I hope in Academy, but this is a rebox only of Revell kit. Phantom is popular subject but too big and expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRIM REAPER Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 Looks like they are going all out on these kits. I wonder who will be doing the tooling. The price I am not concerned about too much. I know it will be high considering what goes into tooling these up and the level of detail they are proposing. My guess is somewhere around $250-300. Of course, just pure speculation at this point.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most recent message I've had from Baris was back in June. There were a number of reasons the kit production from Tanmodel stopped. The most important being Baris had a heart attack in January '21. He's on the road to recovery, but it's a long road with more than a few bumps along the way. I'm sure that everyone on here will wish him well and hope for a complete recovery. Second reason was the company were contracted to the Turkish Military.

If they do the SPEY Phantom, they probably do this after the earlier versions (B,N,E,J etc). For the modular approach the whole fuselage needs changing.
