Civilian Haunebu II from Squadron Models.

Well, this is certainly an eye opener.    A civilian version of the Haunebu II German UFO from Squadron Models.

I can see DrawDecals coming out with alternative sheets for that, Lufthansa, Condor, Air Berlin etc. etc.

It's a "Premium Edition" kit and only 2000 are available worldwide. So if anybody wants one, then get it fast! As for me, it's a nice kit, but I'm not overly impressed with it. I already have the previous military version with the guns and cannons and I like that version a lot better.

Just found and watched the new YouTube review of this kit.

Squadron is having another of its sales and has decided its inventory of Haunebus has lingered on their warehouse shelves for long enough.

They were originally listing at about $100USD two years ago and now Squadron is putting 'em up for just $29.

I think it's a shame that they couldn't have gotten the original price lower as they are pretty nicely engineered and have a lot of Whif potential.

At $30USD however, they're almost a steal now.  The straight-up military version is being listed for even less - just $20.51!

Squadron also seems to be trying to get their money's worth from the original moulds by coming out with an "Alien Invaders" version of the Haunebu that removes the original turrets and replaces them with "laser units" for $64

I hope they at least manage to break even with all this as I don't want to see the company get discouraged from releasing other science fiction themed original kits.

I do like the civvie version, complete with 'conversion kit'. 

I'm waiting for the PanAm, Air France and BOAC versions though...... 

[Madoc]

At these prices?  They might well be all gone before anyone gets inspired enough to do such liveries...

[PR19_Kit]

I may have to do them myself then.

Same price to ship all the way to Australia.  You're being diddled...


I wasn't keen on the nazi version of this because, well to be honest nazi flying saucers just seem silly.
Airlines operating them on the other hand seems eminently sensible.
I'd like a TAA or Ansett version.  Or Air America...
