I hear MPM models will release this soon, Ive been waiting for 1/48 scale version thats usually only available in 1/72...Should be a big one!

Anybody have idea when and cost?

Great Models are taking pre-orders. They quote a regular retail price of $95, their price is $76. No indication of a release date. Hannants in the UK also have it listed as a future issue at £54.60.

Wow, More expensive than I had thought....

Hi Johnny

I do not think it is too expensive (I've seen prices between ~60 to 70+ Euro) remember this is a 4mot and it is huge. Compare to the price of the Trumpeter Condor (where you have to buy some correction sets ...) it is in the same range.

BUT as this is a MPM kit chances are high that you'll get a good plastic kit, but you'll "have to" buy 20 aftermarket sets for cockpit, weapon stands, bomb bay, engines, landing gears, stearing surfaces (flaps, slats, ailerons, rudder) ...... this is what will make you poor, not the kit itself I hope I'm wrong ...

and then comes the conversion for the big chin gun and some weird KG 200 stuff

cheers
