Hi,
here are some pics of the prototype Bismarck in 1/144
It is much likely to be on the market in Germany by end of March 2009, maybe a bit earlier.
It will be made of plastic injection molds. As of today no info about PE parts. It should easiely be possible to convert it into a r/c ship.
The price on the US market is about USD 999,- and is offered by modelers-paradise . com
Do you also ad an addition to my house to display that sucker in?[:D]
If I understand it right, the cost will be $1000? That can’t be right, How many of these do you think they’d sell? The avg. modeler won’t spend that much maybe $300-400 . Esp. with the dreaded “R” word that is supposed to be comming?
1/144 scale… I want to get one, just so I can stick two HGUC Zakus painted in LuftWaffe colors flying over it
Let me see, at that price I could buy … hmmmmmm … an entire navy in 1/700. goes off to ponder this
Uh…yes it can be right…and they’ll sell as many of those as they did their $799 1/35 scale Dora Rail Gun, and like the Dora, I’ll get one so long as I get the same 35% discount from the shop [:)]
If you notice the post is from the importer, so I think he’s up on the correct pricing for this monster.
