drhornii Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Noticed on Great models news letter that the 1/144 ROG C-17A is expected the first week of February. Now if you live in the UK, your C-17 is probably already finished..... :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Liberator24 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 OK, for you pros...How big is this thing? I want one, but I do not want to build anything smaller than 1/48th cause some of the detail is missing in the smaller scales, and lets face it, I am not that good at scratch building...THANKS!! -Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mhoupt Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hmmm. Wonder where my LHS got theirs then. I saw it and had it in my hands on Friday the 23rd. Nice looking kit. Panel lines looked a bit deep. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CCAMXS Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I just checked with my LHS's, and they received their shipments finally. Only problem is, they want $40.00 for them. I asked the clerks why so much and they said supply and demand from the local market. Anyone else had this issue with prices? I thought retail was around $28. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My LHS has a price of $39.95 and I get a 20% club discount. Hopefully HL wil carry the kit & you can use the 40% off coupon :D Sprue Brothers lists it at $33.99 but are sold out.
