Guest styrenedemon Posted April 17, 2013 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!
One-Oh-Four Posted April 17, 2013 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
Paulster Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 Time to make full beer cans into empty ones. Mama says that all the recycling money can go into my stash fund.

Jamme Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Wooooooooooowwwwwwwww. That will be a nice kit. One more to buy. Cheers, Jamme

Dave J Posted May 15, 2013 Author Posted May 15, 2013 Marcus Nicholls, has posted up some photos of the Corsair at 2013 Shizuoka Hobby Show... MmMmmmM Looks tasty! 1
nmayhew Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 coolio wasn't "our" Mike going to be there? what happened with that?
Administrators James H Posted May 15, 2013 Administrators Posted May 15, 2013 And with any luck, our sample should be winging its way here when released.
Guest styrenedemon Posted May 15, 2013 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 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.
recon Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 I am waiting to see what the cost will be here in the states. Mike
PAnderson Posted May 16, 2013 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
Guest styrenedemon Posted May 16, 2013 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.
nmayhew Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 LuckyModel has just put them up for pre-order too by the way
Jamme Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Hi. In Belgium it would be around the 150 - 160€. Cheers, Jamme
Members Mikester Posted May 17, 2013 Members Posted May 17, 2013 With the current exchage rate looks like a street price of $80-85 over here, not bad.
Steve D Posted May 22, 2013 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?"
Dave J Posted May 22, 2013 Author Posted May 22, 2013 Where did you order from Steve? I know about that shipping issue! 1
d_em Posted May 22, 2013 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...
