Ayup Just seen that Trumpeter are going to release a 1/32 scale Swordfish on www.ipmsphilippines.com/ (look in test shots). Could be an expensive year! Alfie

Yummy...Yummy....already added it to my wish list....
Although upping the prices for British Subjects is a bit unfair... I got my 1/32nd EE Lightning for £86......but it's still nearly a 1/3rd more than my last Trumpeter Kit the 1/32 F-8E Crusader

Melvin If you consider the effect of currency and the fact that the oil prices peaks are still in effect on downstream products (like polystyrene) 30% is about right?

NAH.... That cannot be....
I just got Kinetic's 1/32nd Scale F-86F-30 Sabre and they are selling it at a retail price of £10.56..... and it's amazingly good for only £10+
Somebody's got their sums wrong....
PS...I'm hoping they will make a 1/32nd scale Meteor Mk 1 for £10ish next...

Melvin Trumpeter will trade in US Dollars. Today's exchange rate is £1= $1.39. In August the exchange rate was in the region of $1.97. That's an increase to us of 28%. And that's before the oil price effect on plastics is considered.
I think the harsh reality and effect of the boring bits on the news begin to have their impact.
