Guest styrenedemon Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 That engine is going to be beautiful. I wonder if the wing fold is going to be static or functional? Can't wait for this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-Oh-Four Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Ooooooooooooooohhhhh, that wing fold!!!! Mouth-watering!!! And to think most of these bird-cages flew from islands and didn't have their wings folded very often... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators James H Posted May 15, 2013 Administrators Share Posted May 15, 2013 And with any luck, our sample should be winging its way here when released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest styrenedemon Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 From Tamiya themselves: "The wings may be built in either closed or open position, but for those who are wondering...they're not movable." That's a plus for me. Cuts out some cheesy engineering, but it also means I'll have to do two (different variants likely) so I can have the satisfaction of having a display of both options.

Members Mikester Posted May 15, 2013 Members Share Posted May 15, 2013 coolio wasn't "our" Mike going to be there? what happened with that? Nick, Thursday and Friday are invitation only for members of the trade. Unfortunately real life infringed on my trip to Shizuoka, my son dropped the "Hey Dad, I need $1200 for my last college tuition installment" bomb and I just received word that our illustrious Congress is proceeding with a furlough of federal employess so I'm going to have to suck up a 20% pay cut until the end of the fiscal year.

PAnderson Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I am waiting to see what the cost will be here in the states. Mike $93.00 at Hobby Link Japan. I know that's not the States but I don't think anyone will beat that even with shipping. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest styrenedemon Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I don't know. Shipping from there to the US is usually around $40 for something of that size. It'll be close I think. Scalehobbyist will probably have the lowest US price as per usual and with their shipping I'm thinking maybe a $5-$10 difference. Not enough to make me wait for shipping from Asia.

Jamme Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Hi. In Belgium it would be around the 150 - 160€. Cheers, Jamme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mikester Posted May 17, 2013 Members Share Posted May 17, 2013 With the current exchage rate looks like a street price of $80-85 over here, not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve D Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I have placed an order for mine as well. I'm not terribly concerned about price or shipping charges. EVERYTHING almost doubles in price when you add in shipping all the way to Australia. It's a price we pay for the privilege of living "down under". SIGH! I have the Spit, the Zero and the P-51 in this series, and am not all that excited by the Corsair, but I just recently sat through the "Black Sheep" TV series on DVD, and knowing the extra quality of these kits, I thought "Why not?"

d_em Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Where did you order from Steve? I know about that shipping issue! Wonder if it's worth doing a combined order from us Kiwi's then redistribute from here? Might save some pingas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
