jwest21 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Doesn't say it is a preorder- here is hoping it is out but the estimated delivery date later than usual. FYI, I bought one and the estimated delivery date I got after purchasing was August 14-24. We'll see... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kitty-Hawk-F-35B-Lightning-II-80102-NEW-/251125760102?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D1210218582163847231%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D1%26 Edited August 9, 2012 by jwest21 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jwest21 Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 I had a terrible thought that if this was like the real think it will come 3 years late and end up costing 4 times as much Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jennings Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 The owner of KH didn't have test shots a month ago, so I'm betting dollars to donuts that the eBay guy doesn't have ready-to-sell kits in his hands yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ross blackford Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 :D, Only 3 years late and only 4 times the price? That'd be a bargain wouldn't it? :lol: , Ross. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hero Ma Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) Saw it in local hobby shop today personally. Details are amazingly rich, and the level can match aftermarket stuffs if not surpasses it. But there is one thing that most modeler will beat it to death. Well maybe the photos will speak later on... Edited August 10, 2012 by Hero Ma Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But there is one thing that most modeler will beat it to death. Well maybe the photos will speak later on... isn't the surface treatment looks very similar to the 1/48 hasegawa f-22 ???

Jeff Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 isn't the surface treatment looks very similar to the 1/48 hasegawa f-22 ??? I examined the sample kit in the same store and to my surprise, the raise detail of the zee saw is extremely fine unlike the hasgawa f-22. I will wait to see if the shape looks good before buying one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
