Infinity SB2C, when???

[JohnB]

I hear this kit will be available soon so do any of you know where I can get one? USA please.

Thanks!!

[DocRob]

Can't be long John, that the Helldiver hits the US-Stores. It's available in some European shops as well as one of my favorite German retailers.

Cheers Rob

[JohnB]

Thanks Rob. I look forward to getting one!

I saw that too Harv but was able to make myself wait! The shipping would likely be pricey.

[harv]

Yes, me too John.....harv

I don't know John, according to the instructions that come with the kit you are too old...

I have one on order from Hannants. I also have the rear gunners update and bomb bay. I  hope they ship soon.

[harv]

Wonder how much shipping is going to be....harv

[recon]

Not sure, hopefully it won’t be too bad!

Count yourself lucky, you have only to think about shipping costs from Hannants. Since the end of last year, I'm not able to purchase from them, first because of Brexit and now, because they need to enhance their systems to include the necessary tax number for Spain.

LOL Maybe they will make a exception!

[harv]

One thing I'm not too thrilled about, it's the dive brakes. That's a lot of holes to drill out !....harv

[Clunkmeister]

I’ll certainly be comparing this to the resin version, a d have one on pre order as well.

If this is any kind of a decent kit, it’ll be crazy popular in the USA.

Kitlinx has it up for preorder and in their latest news letter they said they were expecting the shipment soon. I order mine from a dealer in the Czech republic and paid a stupid amount for shipping but in the end it was about the same amount as Kitlinx is charging once you add shipping.

I think I will bide my time and see who all has it and what they are charging, etc.

Still on back order at Hannants.

I had my choice between this and the Whirlwind. I pre-ordered the Whillwind....harv

[belugawhaleman]

I'm glad to see any large scale kit that is  a not too overdone subject!. I'm still waiting

For a 1/18 Brewster Buffalo to be released. Oh......but to dream! Do you hear me Hobby Boss?

I won't ever buy from Kitlinx again.  I ordered a few Taurus resin engine kits from them last winter along with some other items, and the kits were not in the box.  I sent probably a half dozen polite emails to Loic and never even got a response.  So, I would caution doing business with them when there are plenty of other great suppliers out there like Sprue Brothers and others.

I do like that they’re offering a wing fold option for the Helldiver. That’s one thing that was missing from the resin kit.

The one time I used them they were very slow.

[harv]

Not in a hurry so I think I'm good. I have ordered there once and didn't have any problems......harv

I really was wanting to stock these, but Infinity has never answered any inquiries from me, and I can’t find a distributor in the US who will sell them. I can get it from Japan, but I would have to pay nearly retail.

That sucks big time. I hope you can find a source that will work out okay.
