Homebee Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) The words of Andrey Kotkov (Begemot) and Linden Hill about this kit Source: http://s362974870.onlinehome.us/forums/air...32942&st=20 As i know this model really will present at Nuremberg 2012, after this part of sprue will re-box one of Russian model producer as limited edition. As Kotey says, there will be a version of this kit released exclusively for the Russian market, via the entity which created the masters for Hippo, whose name remains a 'state secret' for the time being. However, I understand that the Hippo version will be given enough time on the market to recoup the owner's considerable investment in the tooling. Hippo is linked to the seminal 1990s Czech Model magazine Zlinek.You should see some of the other 1/48 masters which are being prepared by the same source as we speak... V.P.

Jennings Heilig Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 That all sounds rather mushy to me. So when can we expect to be able to buy one if we're not among the chosen in Russia?? And from whom?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Velociweiler Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) That all sounds rather mushy to me. So when can we expect to be able to buy one if we're not among the chosen in Russia?? And from whom?? Maybe optimistically, I'm reading into that there is an intention to produce a standard kit with wider availability, and also a one-off limited edition comprising additional parts (maybe one additional sprue..?) for the Russian market solely. That would make sense if they intend to release the 'special' version as the Brewer, with the glazed nose. Just trying to keep it optimistic, but in this day and age - if the literal meaning and intention was to keep the kit whole production and availability as a very limited edition, and in Russia alone, then it makes no financial or market sense at all.
