Muzz Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Eduard have just announced their releasing the overtrees kits again for the MF and SMT for a limited period during July! $24.95 is a bit of a bargain for such a great kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigsty Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Sorry to be dense, but: does this mean you can buy a single 1/48 Fishbed from Eduard for only $24.95? () and is this available only direct from them, in which case, will their murderous postage charges apply? () Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

() Pigsty Not dense at all, it took me a bit of working out when they released them first time round! Yes, you can buy the kit on it's own for $24.95 and yes it's only available from them direct, how much is there p&p? When I bought the MF earlier in the year it was free! Remember also, as with other overtrees kits there's no instructions or decals, but the instructions can be downloaded from the site in PDF form.

pigsty Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Well, postage is $8.50 and there's VAT on top, so it comes out at $40 plus change. That's still pretty good - roughly £25 compared with £34 in the shops - so I've ordered one, berk that I am. Now to scavenge some Egyptian decals ...

Muzz With postage and VAT this worked out at €27 to Ireland - a pretty good deal, in my opinion. Edited June 29, 2011 by Irish 251 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) I already have the MF kit and MF overtrees in the stash, now I'm wanting an SMT, dammit! Edited June 30, 2011 by Muzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennings Heilig Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Honestly, I think in six months to a year you'll be able to buy the SMT kit for a dime a dozen. They only built a handful of that version, and the options for markings & camouflage are *extremely* limited, to say the least. I just don't see it as being a very popular selling kit in the series for very long. I was actually quite surprised they even bothered doing it. I'd much rather they'd put that effort into a PFM right out of the gate. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofjim Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 sounds great spent a bit much this month already though i like the SMT i think its a very interesting variant though as jennings said its limited for markings etc... as an side note i just picked up 2 subscriber edition mf kits and an smt for an excellent price so i'm already pretty well stocked on mig-21's ,but in my opinion you just cant hyave enough of thesek its now i just wish aires would stump up a pit for it . jim.

rs2man Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Forgive my stupidity chaps , but what on earth is an overtrees kit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigsty Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) what on earth is an overtrees kit ? It's one they sell without decals or instructions. Bizarre. I suspect it may be called that - and sold like that - because of over-production of parts trees. By the way, nice RS2000. It's not EBC 676T, by any chance?

Bennygman Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 It's one they sell without decals or instructions. Bizarre. Presumably so you can use up the extra decal options from the full kit? A typically innovative bit of thinking from the Czech boys. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigsty Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Do you also get the resin pods and Photo -etch?? PE, yes, according to the website. Not sure about the resin pods but as they were (I think) a special feature for the first release, probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the resin pods but as they were (I think) a special feature for the first release, probably not. That's right. Brassin parts are not part of Overtrees kits. "Just" sprues, PE details and Eduard Mask. Libor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigsty Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) Well, my MiG arrived today at last, and it's very nice. At first I thought they'd sent a real one, the box was that big. You do indeed get an airframe, some etch (some of it in colour), and the masks, but no decals or resin bits. Also no instructions, which seems a strange economy even if you can grab them from the Eduard webshite. Still, not bad for around £25, especially as that includes VAT and postage. If it's still available, Pigsty's top tip: go for it. Edited July 19, 2011 by pigsty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfurm Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Looks like a good deal, but if I have to buy aftermarket decals for it the price is exactly the same as normal profipack. That's why I'll pass on this one. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
