Hey guys. Are these any good and there seems to be bugger all Minicraft and Airfix ones around that don't cost a kidney or 2 2 around. Cheers

The -300 and -400 seem to be up to the standard of the Minicraft kits, there a few threads on Airliner Cafe. The kits were first released in 2010

The -200 is a modified copy of the Airfix kit apparently and need some cleanup, engine fit is not the best.

Not cheap either as the cheapest 732 I could find was about $AUD 40 landed.

And this :

makes that look cheap!

(... thinks back to when Airfix Series 3 was $ 1.89! from Pages Toys and Hobbies!)

And this one has to be GOLD PLATED!!! :

hmmm, I don't have any -200's left, but here at the Emporium there are quite a few -300 and -400's

Not even for yourself?

Interesting ...

So this one is $AUD 64.51.

Turns out if one would have bought that $AUD 1.89 kit in 1974 at Pages at a nominal 5 percent per year it would be now "worth" $AUD 16.17.

So Shops selling the current rerelease at around 30 something dollars probably is double what they should be!

[Serious Edit when I checked the Maths!]

Don't worry mate. The Emporium would be the first place I'd look
