Gary, I would have thought the Lakenheath F-111 would have been a must for the UK market?

[kevjb64]

Gary, I would have thought the Lakenheath F-111 would have been a must for the UK market?

I was not going to bother anymore as I have 3 but might be tempted by this , the prices seem to be rising every release . :unsure: Sure I paid £ 45 for the first one , £ 50 for the next and £ 55 for the Raven , £ 70 for this one ( £ 60 ish with a pre-order discount , is it a low run ? ) . :confused:

[sniperUK]

Forty quid for a MIG 21 :eek: I didn't think inflation was that bad .

[Dutchie]

Thanks for the info Gary !!! The Soesterberg F102 is nice:) :) :)

[simonsfotos]

Strikemaster and Austin Tilly for me, even though £26.99 for the Tilly seems a bit steep!

[Sponge Bob]

Prices and beginning to get silly :(

[11SQNLDR]

I really want that LN F-111, from memory this is "Miss Liberty" that now resides in the NMUSAF at Wright-Pat, Dayton Ohio :unsure:

But at 70 squid these are getting harder to justify :o

[chally2]

Luckily nothing of interest because as stated, some of those prices:wacko:

[shuttle]

Strikemaster and Austin Tilly for me, even though £26.99 for the Tilly seems a bit steep!

Isn't the Tilly 1/48 scale?

Totally agree,I do like the F-111,it is a big plane and model but the price is getting silly.However saying that i do still want this one.Also i would take the Royal Navy Phantom and the Strike Master from these new offerings.:D

[leeG]

Is HP0005 WWII US Navy and RAF Pilots the long promised 1:48 scale set? :unsure:

[fozzy45]

Nothing of interest for me.

[tc2324]

Surprised that the LN `111` hasn`t attracted more interest on here...:confused:

Perhaps it should have had `UH` on the tail instead.....:unsure:

[Folgore]

Woo-hoo: VA-25 A-1H Skyraider Paper Tiger II -- THE INFAMOUS TOILET BOMBER! :D

Now that's a piece of ordnance I don't have yet...

Great music added to the toilet bomber footage here:

Hobby Master must be expecting it to sell with 2,000 pieces being produced.

PERHAPS THEY THINK ITS GOING TO BE BASED ON THE AIRFRAME IN THE MUSEUM AND NOT THE OPERATIONAL MISS LIBERTY OR IS MISS LIBERTY 2 ROUND THE CORNER.
cant understand why collecter chappie posts info for his site nearly a day after everyone know's?

[Tempest_486]

Nothing there floats my boat.. and no way at those prices.

[Virtual_pilot]

I am excited about the EF-111F 1991.

I hope HM will make a darn good updated version of the "HP0006 US Modern Pilots Set £8.50". Because I need a huge number of those, if they are highly updated of course.

Tiger hobbies has listed the Retail Prices,

As we all know these are not the price's you all pay from well known retailers.

Yep......it's just like when (other) folks complained about Corgi's RRP when HM were cheaper.....surely hardly anyone pay RRP? At least the parity has stopped the complaints about the price differentials between the makers.....they are all now equally expensive!

Unfortunately, yet again another couple of months with nothing on the list for me....looks like I'm heading for another HM-less year......

Though my point was more about what seems to have been a very rapid increase , though I am going fro memory on the above prices paid . I guesstimated the pre-order discount and it seems like a 30% increase from first release . :unsure:

[kevjb64]

I had this discussion with a couple of trade people quite recently and it is already release 7 in how many months . :wacko:

[blue steel]

Although 5 different marks, inc. 2 x RAAF, 1 x EW variant, 1970's, 80's and 90's periods covered. Assume that the Aussie and US based releases were imported in low numbers for the UK :unsure:

[gary ford]

This model will now be a stock model and will be reduced in price from £69.99 retail to £65.99 Retail

[gary ford]

Strikemaster and Austin Tilly for me, even though £26.99 for the Tilly seems a bit steep!

the model is 1/48 and if you think its expensive go buy a white metal kit or buy the Tamiya pre-built I think theirs is over £50.00

It's only in line with the price increases of bl*ody petrol... :LOL: and as Gary was explaining somewhere else, as the run numbers come down on each of the subjects, (it seems to be about 40/50% from the 0001 subject), as they are doing, then the individual unit cost goes up...

Personally think that all manus have upped their game in the last coupla years which is a good thing..:) and the more the cost goes up, the less problematic the question of space becomes..:LOL: :LOL:

[Aviaction]

OMG!:eek:

4X-FPY Israeli Strat

Saw that at Gatwick c. 1972. seem to remember coming in to land with 1 prop feathered.

Deffo purchase.

Always the voice of reason is our Jimbo :D

[Max Reheat]

Always the voice of reason is our Jimbo :D

Or should that read temptation ;) :D

[kevjb64]

So even if its say £ 55 that is still a 20% increase on the first one . ;)
