Special Hobby 50 per cent off sales promotion
« on: August 29, 2020, 10:13:35 AM »
 Our friends at Special Hobby have launched a special promotion for the next four weeks, offering 12 kits per week at a special 50 per cent discount to registered members. The sale kits rotate each week.

For the first week, August 28 to September 6, the WW1 kit on sale is their 1/32 scale Fokker D.II "black & white tail". It normally retails for 39.90 Euros but for registered members the price is 19.96 Euros ( about $A 32). This is a very nice kit and at a great bargain price for a 1/32 scale model.

The kits on special for the first week can be found here:

https://www.specialhobby.eu/index.php?cl=search&searchparam=tucet&lang=1

Please note the sale prices are only displayed if you are a registered member of the Special Hobby site. It's free to register and a simple process.

We'll keep you advised of other WW1 specials in the promotion but the weekly deals cover a range of kits and accessories in the major scales.

Thanks for the heads up! I have both boxes of the D.II at home and it is indeed very nice for short run tooling. For that price I might pick up another. 

The instructions for this kit have best and clearest rigging diagrams I’ve ever seen (other manufacturers, please take note!)

Thanks for the info, Dave.
I'd fancy a few more SH kits at half price; only problem is the hefty postage. I put a Fokker in the basket but shipping was going to be another 19euros to UK, so really back to full price. It'd be worth it to buy a batch of their 1/32 WWI kits but if they're only going to do one a week at discount it won't work if you are specialized.
Good if you fancy a mixed bag of scales though.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the heads up on this.

'registered members' - is that registered account on their site or a registered WW1 Forum member?

Mike- sorry, I should be clearer. Insufficient coffee is to blame!

The discount applies to people registered on the Special Hobby site. It's free to register there and quite easy.

The second week's deals should be posted in a day or two.

cheers

It's not WW1 but the Vickers Vildebeest Mk IV at $A22 is also worth noting.
