New Eduard Release "The Bloody Hundredth" In Box Review

[@yashkasheriff9325]

I liked the part in the video when the German fighter pilot says to Rosie Rosenthal, "you've done it. You truly are the Master of the Air" Terrible joke aside, wonderful kit, looking forward to getting my hands on it.

Awaiting the arrival of mine from Squadron. Should be here next week! I told myself I wouldn't get sucked into building a B-17 this rear....right.

[@Sidewinderhobbies]

It’s been a fun build so far! What paint scheme are you going to do?

Have a great build. 🛩

Thanks!

Glad to see the nose art does not have any actual 'art', ie girls. I work for an after-market company which produce nose art decal sets fo all sorts of kits trying to give a little colour and variety to what is usually available from the kit makers. I understand that this kit is limited to the 100th so they have to go with what they used but lots more work for me! Great reveal, the kit look superb as you would expect from a re-boxing of the HK models kit. Eduard are one of the best for the quality of tooling so their additional bits are, I'm sure, excellent.

[@Sidewinderhobbies]

Kit definitely has a lot of nice schemes but I agree the aftermarket options should be awesome!

[@jcwoodman5285]

I keep debating myself to get one. I have the kits so I feel like this is more a collectable that I'll wince at building. Like wing nut kits😕

[@Sidewinderhobbies]

I feel the same way but I just went ahead and started on it and it gets better haha I was nervous about opening the plastic bags

@@Sidewinderhobbies I know what ya mean... New Eduard Limited smell is the best!🥲

[@AndrewStephens-r9g]

Surely the whole point of an ‘in box’ review is to show somebody who is interested in the kit, and may possibly wish to purchase it, exactly what they are getting for their money. I was very disappointed that the parts weren’t taken out of the plastic bags so that I could see the level of detail and finesse on offer.

[@Sidewinderhobbies]

That’s fair. I meant to show more than I did. I’m working on some additional stuff and will post soon. Because the bulk of the kit is the HK models B-17, it’s not new and has been reviewed before.

[@paulcorrigan649]

The bonus instructions is fine, it's already been released on their social media.

[@Sidewinderhobbies]

Ok cool

@Sidewinderhobbies it's just the secret bit thats secret. Andit is super awesome

[@miltiade2510]

Good

[@angelohernandez6060]

It's kind of a dick move for Eduard to not want people to see the "secret bonus" . Most of us are not going to pay over $300 for this kit. We just can't afford it. And one little bonus part or whatever is not going to change that. And not letting us see it will not help Eduard sell this to model builders that CAN'T afford it anyway. $300 for a 1/48 B-17...phah! I'll just build one my Revell kits. Eduard can take their secret bonus and go bleep themselves.

[@Sidewinderhobbies]

I believe Eduard’s actual motivation is just for ppl who bought the kit to be surprised when they open their own kits and see the bonus. My kit came in a few days before other modelers that I know. If I posted what the secret bonus was, they would see it, and no longer be surprised when they got their own kits.

I can afford it, I bought one. Small pleasures

[@davesplasticmodelreviewsan8033]

@@angelohernandez6060 I was on the fence about this kit. I see an HK kit is well above 100 dollars. Taking in consideration all the extras, the price for 100th kit is balanced out. You wouldn’t want to buy anything else. I’m not a fan of the marketing and gimmicks but I want a kit that is complete. Many plane kits, I pay extra for masks at a minimum. Seatbelts and decals are other purchases. I can actually see myself only buying kits like the 100th. Another factor is finding these extra items. Seems I can never find everything at one place. Now I’m paying all these shipping cost. Either I build this kit, or I stash and sell later at a good profit (like WNW kits).

[@danwilliams1686]

From what I've seen this kit will be between 150.00 to 175.00.
