pminer Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 There goes a couple hundred bucks. Great news indeed. Yep....I'm all over it. I don't even really care how "perfect" it is....or not. Just love the plane. Worked on them in the Air Force. And by the way...I like the AMT/Ertl/Italeri kit(s)too. If you model them right...they make a fantastic G or H. Love the Monogram D too! Great News! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B.Sin Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Show me the plastic! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dehowie Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Fingers crossed! Hopefully unlike everything which has come before the engines are at least close to correct size, the wing looks good and the fuse looks like one flying. Still hoping for a Great Wall Buff in 144 family but will definitely be into one of these... Gotta love the Buff! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) I have seen some 1/72 scale armor kits by Modelcollect. Judging by the design and molding quality of these kits, I would say they can pull it off. I am looking forward to seeing more information and CAD images.

Don Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Hey this is really interesting! If this kit proves to be even slightly better then the AMT/Ertl kit then I am in for one or two. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dehowie Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) Have you seen the plastic? No mate when I say the wing looks good I mean it "looks good" on the model not I have seen it and it looks good. I'd be happy with no bomb bay no over engineered fiddly drams. Just mold the fuse in three parts wing section Center..nose region to allow early or late...tail again early and late plus short or long fin and with it without gun.. Get the engines on the H and G the right size and a slide in wing structure not a flush fit for strength and possible transport. Get the basics right is what we all want. Leave the rest to aftermarket.. Edited June 29, 2016 by dehowie Quote Link to post Share on other sites

F4DPhantomII Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I am hoping for a good B-52G and H kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Okay, a little reality check here! Last post was July 2016. Has anyone purchased this kit? Has anyone received this kit yet? I just checked the Modelcollect website and the B-52H (UA72200) is priced at $99.99 and availability is listed as: "Out of stock." The B-2 (UA72201) is priced at $149.99 with Qty: 56 in stock for "pre-order." The B-52G (UA72202) is priced at $119.99 with Qty 87 in stock for "pre-order." Shipping via China Air Mail to the USA is $27.99. When I last previously checked the Modelcollect website sometime in October, I thought I saw a sizeable discount for pre-order on the B-2 kit. Does Modelcollect not offer this anymore? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoFo Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 No, the discount was advertised as a limited time offer. Both kits (and the B-1) are still in development, and hasn't been released. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=690872911067812&substory_index=0&id=153752164779892 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 So I should pre-order and hope for the best? Are these only limited edition kits? Looks like production is at or below 100 kits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hoops Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Production is not planned to be below 100 kits, see my other post in the B-2 thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoFo Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 12 hours ago, Dutch said: So I should pre-order and hope for the best? That's up to you. Quote Are these only limited edition kits? No. Quote Looks like production is at or below 100 kits. No. As Hoops said, pre-order pricing was in tranches of 100 kits (presumably to fund development and/or gauge interest), but modelcollect is a long-run manufacturer, so the kits will be around for years. *Personally*, I was turned off by the pre-order pricing model, since it felt more like an attempt to raise money than to lock in purchases. Plus I'm anti pre-order anyway. But, I have a strong suspicion that modelcollect have just bought a bigger injection moulding machine, since they've announced slew of large releases (they've also announced a 1/72 Ratte tank, which is similar to a B-2 in size), so it could be they needed to raise cash to fund the machinery. IDK. But I'd rather see the finished product before pulling the trigger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 To be clear, the MSRP price is not what it will cost in actual shops, it will be significantly below that. Thumb of rule is about 25% or so i would say. Either way, i preordered the B-2 despite the correct risks outlined by MoFo above. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
