DocRob Posted June 24, 2020 Author Share Posted June 24, 2020 Got my Roden DR.1 yesterday and while browsing through the sprues have to say, it looks pretty decent. With some add-on's, like an Aviattic cowling and some spare Wingnut seatbelts, accompanied with Montex Masks for Rudolf Klimkes bird, my urge for a DR.1 ends here.

BlrwestSiR Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Well, the kit is now up for preorder. Lucky Model has it for $38.99: https://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?search=Y&q_brand=MENG&q_category=&q_scale=32&q_word=&q_show_instock_only=N Much less than I would have expected. Me? I'm getting a 1/32 Viggen. Now if they do a Duelist release with Snoopy on a dog house in flying garb I might change my mind. Carl 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I see other places, this discussion went on for 15 pages ! Holy Doodle.....no wonder we, in this world have a tough time agreeing, good thing we don't have to really decide something important ! I might have to jump off my wallet too... this maybe kind of cool, I do hope maybe a Sopwith triplane too.. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krow113 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Astounding hypocrisy being displayed in the last few weeks over a model kit. If hypocrisy was money , model forums would be banks. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumm Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 8 hours ago, BlrwestSiR said: Well, the kit is now up for preorder. Lucky Model has it for $38.99 At the current exchange rate; just shy of $57 Au, so with shipping and Tax I estimate around the $100 mark once it arrives Down Under (given that the Meng Komet kit is $85 at a local store here.) Still quite a bargain, considering the WNW Albatros I last spied here was going for $149. This is probably more of a factor in the WNW demise than people realise... A Company based at the bottom of the Globe, relying on supply from half a World away, structuring their business model around a foreign currency, and then shipping to a Customer base largely back on the other side of the Globe.

krow113 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Still cant understand they ran it at a loss? Heres another clue; 70 plus models in the catalogue , at 250-300K a mold set and you think plastic model kits are going to repay all of that outlay? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
