We were recently sent some photos of the sprues for the new Hobby Boss M1070 HET. There is a lot of plastic here. I hope everyone has made room for it on the workbench.
The photos are of both the HET and the trailer. No release date was given but the item was in the Hobby Boss Catalog for a 2011 release.

Our thanks to Sebastien Viale for sharing the photos with us!

Hi Hisham and all others, an online shop here in Germany takes pre-orders and charges the entire combo with 110 Euros. Sounds like a fair price to me. Cheers Hans-Hermann

Hi there, my sourcebooks say that the tractor is 9,19 m in lenght (about 30 feet) and the semitrailer 15,9 m (about 52 feet). This would make a combo lenght of about 22,5 m (74 feet). The model will be 642 mm or a little over 2 feet. So better make some extra space on your shelf. Greetz Hans-Hermann

Hey Hans, thanks for the info. That's actually not a bad price for both tractor and trailer.. (about $160)... The prices in Europe are usually a lot higher than the prices in HK.. so, I'm "HOPING" for somewhere between $110 - $120 in the HK stores. We'll have to wait and see how much lower it will be Hisham P.S. The shipping is going to be murder, though

The prices for Hobby Boss and Trumpeter in Germany are very comparable to the prices at Hobbyeasy. So that would mean around 100- 120 HKD. Thomas

Well, I was comparing the prices of some Trumpeter kits between this German store... http://www.sockelshop.de/catalog/index.php?cPath=73_23_104&sort=4a&page=3 and Hobbyeasy... and the prices are comparable in USD not in HKD. Like if a kit sells for say 32 Euros at the German store, then it sells for around $35 at Hobbyeasy.. which is (237 HKD) I wish the price would be 120 HKD.. that would be like $25 Hisham

Hisham you are right. With postage the kits cost about the same as in Germany. Now itīs correct. Thomas
