Meteor Productions has provided the
following information regarding new releases that will be available this
week at the IPMS Nationals in Atlanta:
We've received a HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of new products in preparation
for the IPMS-USA nationals next week in Atlanta, but we're too busy to
put all of them on our web site just now. For today, some of the new
Cutting Edge Modelworks resin sets and a couple more PYN-up Decals to
accompany them!
Cutting Edge
Modelworks Resin PB4Y-2 Privateer! 1/48
| CEC48500 |
PB4Y-2 Privateer Conversion for Monogram/Revell B-24D or
B-24J |
$239.99 |
This super kit has nearly 150 parts in CLEAR and gray resin, with white
metal fully detailed landing gear. The kit also includes full decals for
one WW II US Navy aircraft ("Ol9 Blunderbuss") and one French Navy (Aeronavale)
aircraft that flew combat at Dien Bien Phu in 1954 and later in Algeria.
Note that two fantastic PYN-up Decals sets with two Privateers each
(four aircraft total) are available separately and are listed below.
This accurate and massive conversion set includes:
- two complete fuselage halves
- the Erco ball-type bow turret with clear resin windows
- two Erco waist blister turrets with clear resin windows
- an additional Martin top turret (to augment the top turret included in
the Monogram kit)
- four precise engine cowlings
- four engine nacelles
- four Privateer props
- white metal nose and main landing gear
- all RCM and radar radomes
- interior bulkheads, floors, etc.
- and more!
Special features of our kit:
+ Either the Monogram B-24D or B-24J kit may be used; only the top
and tail turrets, wings, and miscellaneous detail parts will be used
from the Monogram kit.
+ The Erco waist blister turrets have nine parts each!
+ Full fabric ribbing detail is beautifully executed on the rudder
and elevators.
+ The pilots9 canopy is of the proper depth (the Monogram canopy is too
shallow)
+ Bow and waist turrets will rotate if you wish.
+ As noted, kit decals include the national insignia and nose art for
one aircraft, 3Ol Blunderbuss2/Y564 of VPB-121, and a French Navy (Aeronavale)
combat veteran of Dien Bien Phu and Algeria.
Please note that a number of famous Privateers, such as 3Easy Maid,2
were produced with the Consolidated A-6 tail turret mounted in the nose,
rather than the Erco ball-type nose turret included in our kit.
This is a very difficult kit to produce, and our shipping rate will
be somewhat slower than for our usual Cutting Edge resin sets. We will
probably produce less than 250 of these kits in total, so we understand
your eagerness to get one (or more) for yourself as soon as possible.
Our Privateer conversion set costs USD$239.99, and after the IPMS-USA
National convention will be shipped on a first-paid, first shipped
basis. The first 12-18 produced will be sold at the IPMS nationals and
we cannot accept preorders for those kits.
While we will accept paid preorders now (via email, phone, or fax as
we9re not going to put it on our website for several more days) for kits
that will ship after we return from the IPMS convention.
If you are going to the convention you may wish to buy one of these
first-production sets in Atlanta rather than preorder. After we return
from the convention we9ll ship kits as soon as we can produce them,
again, on a first-ordered, first shipped basis.
