Corvi Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Those look like props from an B-26K Counter INvader?!?! No I am no impatient....Just saying the estimates by most of these companies are very optimistic!...Especially for ICM with the current geo-political military situation Plenty to build just have some AM's for it!

alt-92 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 That's going to need some work though... looks like a modified tail, with a significant sweep & additional fillet, and extended tailcone. Underside of the nacelles are also reworked - compare this one to the mods on N5546N for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IT_Man Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Worth noting that the price has gone up by £20 on the original boxing (as well as the new one).. May get away with it on Pre-Order, depending on where you buy from! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see if it stays that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Mine is due for delivery from Jadlam tomorrow and they only charged the original asking price. Very keen to see whats in the box as I haven't even been able to find what the kit decal options are apart from the one on the box art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IT_Man Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Must be an error (on the delivery)! It's not even due for release till March according to ICM, and it's not been featured in their "Soon on Sale"!! Hopefully you'll get it for that price (and that Jadlam don't sell it at a loss) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IT_Man Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Saw a comment on Facebook, re extra detail in the tail will add weight, when the Marauder kits are already a renowned tail-sitters - do our experts here concur? Might be tempted to leave it out if so, depends on what space is available in the nose to counter-balance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozothenutter Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Why a separate boxing for 'Flak Bait' ? Just to generate extra income, or was it a special version or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of room there for nose weight. I'll probably just sling an anvil in there myself and add white metal U/C legs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
