falcon20driver Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 Brain fart...Freetime Hobbies. I'll be ordering mine Sunday. Stoked and terrified at the same time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Placed my pre-order. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Ordered! Woohoo! And now the realization I have a frickin' 1/32 B-17 coming my way... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Ordered! Woohoo! And now the realization I have a frickin' 1/32 B-17 coming my way... On a serious note - where the heck do you guys plan on storing this kit once built? I have issues with 1/32 WW2 fighters, can't imagine where I'd fit a B-17 except somewhere down in the basement to gather dust and inevitably get smashed when someone tried to move it.

falcon20driver Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 I have my own room/office in my house. I'm going to build a special table for it and have it in a corner under my signed picture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Like most kits I buy, it's going in the stash to forever be placed on the to do list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 I just measured out the outline of this beast in my office. Holy huge airplane! I'm going to need to entirely rearrange my whole room to have it in a good/safe display area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Curious to know who ended up designing the decals. :whistle:/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 Don't know but it doesn't matter for me. I've ordered more Kits World decals for mine. I've now got the Belle decals, the data/stencil/insignia decals, master models gun barrels, and Eduard fabric seat belts. I'm leaning towards the Eduard wheels as well. Now I just need the kit!

Brad-M Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 So Freetime no longer has this as a pre-order? I couldn't find it on their website. :( Brad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) It's weird. It's freetime Hobbies, but it's a slightly different url... www.hobbypreorders.com Hopefully it gets here soon! Edited June 20, 2016 by falcon20driver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brad-M Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Thanks! Brad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 Anyone have any updates on the release? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 I've been informed 2-3 more weeks. They're extruding plastic as we speak it's just taking a little while due to how many sprues there are. This kit is going to be EPIC! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brad-M Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I finally decided to pre-order this baby from Freetime Hobbies :) Looking forward to it. Brad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brad-M Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Hey Falcon, Where are you getting your Kit World decals from? Brad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 I've ordered everything thus far from Sprue Brothers. The decals, stencils, master gun barrels, and fabric seat belts. I'll probably order replacement tires too later when the build gets going. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 Word is late August now. Apparently this thing was a monster due to its size (800 parts apparently) and now decals are slowing it down. Hopefully this will be the final delay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Slartibartfast Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Just got a notice from Freetime Hobbies: "We are placing our final order for the B-17 Memphis Belle from HK Models. They are expected to arrive in September. We just noticed that you are on the "email when back in stock list" along with many other customers. At this point, the amount of customers on the "email when back in stock" list is a good bit higher than the amount of kits we have coming in stock, which we base on pre-orders. If you have not already placed a pre-order with us, at HobbyPreOrders.com, please follow the link below and place a pre-order for the kit so we can make sure to order one for you." http://www.hobbypreorders.com/1-32-hk-models-b-17e-f-flying-fortress-memphis-belle-bomber/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
