Just curious if there were any floating around? Or at least a finished product. Anxious to see what this model will look like even though so many hate on Norscot.

It just crossed my mind prior to posting this that it is due to release "sometime" this summer.

Definitely going to pick one up regardless to sit with the CCM 385/390.

Good question. I'm also looking forward to this piece. I've got a shelf in my display cabinet with the CCM 385C, CCM 390D and the Norscot High Detail 385CL (in 1/64), the 390F will complete the collection.

PS. I hope the listed price on DHS stays there at $151.95 as I see it is listed on Notscots website as MSRP $215.95!!

sad what happened to model prices. that 980g was under 20 bucks when it first came out. i know that was years ago but to increase 400% is just wrong. these prices dont reflect inflation or the cost of materials. this is just greed. last model i bought from them was the 963d. and it was over priced at 40 bucks

I totally agree. Come on Norscot, show us a good quality 390F model with a honest price!! by honest I would say not exceeding 120-130 USDSad Confused Whistle

Norscot 365B- $26

Ha ha Brian I caught heat for supposedly complaing.......saying the very same things you have....several years ago lol.

Ethan, it's only fun when you get to realize you got em for far less than today's prices......not so fun if you're wanting something set at the much increased price.

I'm not sure I understand where you're coming from. The CCM models were almost $100 dollars more, and that was 3 years ago. I would say comparatively, the price on the Norscot 390 is quite reasonable.

Grease,

There are some sites that have a "revised" Norscot Cat 390F Price listed at $215, which to me is unacceptable.
