Ebay Craziness...

[loupgarou]

I just found this for sale on Ebay but through Yahoo.

Now, if you go to Ebay and try any combination of entry data you cannot get to this kit, yet there it is. Really can't tell if the entry is dodgy. Am I missing something? Anyone got any advice?

Well the seller is in Mexico, so you won't find it via ebay.co.uk. I've just gone in through ebay.com, searched for "MB5", filtered for Toys and Games: Models, and it went right to it.

On the other side, I haven't found it, on ebay.com, either with "Martin Baker" or "MB5". Maybe the seller has left some country block preparing the auction (I am in Italy). It has already happened to me that some auction are just not visible if in a blocked country.

After the Me 509, Spiteful and Seafang I'm sure its on the books. If they've done their sales research of previous releases they must be considering it....please....

Wish Trumpeter would do a 1/48 MB5.

I'd prefer it to be done by a company more likely to get it right...

I'd just like a decent 1/72 MB5 to be honest..

Me four - so tell Airfix then......

[rickshaw]

Will Airfix listen though?

If anyone out there has any influence it might be worth putting in a word. The experimental/Luft46 etc market is both popular and strong. Experimentals and prototypes can be very good sellers. I'd certainly buy a prototype of the first F4U as it is a very striking machine, and also fill a gap in many model collections...the Xf5U and V-173 kits have always sold well.

Just Found one in the bumper plie of poo-poo (with an english accent) , strangely enough the Falcon Vacform turned up first. If anybody wants to make it worth my while posting them...

[deathjester]

An MB5??  How much is worth your while??!!

Yeah. Both 1/72, the Falcon one is just vac-form sheets but the other one seems quite nice.
Call it stash reduction, PM inbound.

......but the other one seems quite nice.

It is nice, wonderfully moulded so long as you can see the detail the weird coloured styrene.

It almost makes you want to leave it unpainted.
