Appears Agora models next model (would you believe) is the hachette terminator. They are doing it in 12 packs with 10 stages in each pack. Aimed at the USA but will be available to the UK. I guess good if you missed the start of the hachette offering. Apparently on the agora site for the uk in the next week or so. Been some interesting reading of late as regards Hachette. apparently the biggest book publisher in the USA but they do not do their partworks in the USA. Is this the start of Agora being the USA distributor of hachette partworks i wonder. Tony Happy Modelling

yes hachette is a HUGE company in USA, but no partworks from them.I think part of the problem is USA doesnt have the newsagent weekly parts magazine thing historically that UK has, but who knows for sure.

I think that is spectacular news!! I personally do not have much interest in building the Terminator, but I have always wanted to tackle some of the other Hachette kits. My hope is that more items come available in the U.S.

 So nothing actually new from Agora then? If it’s just a recycled Hachette offering is it not going to be beset with all the same problems ie teeth, fingers etc?

https://www.agoramodels.com/us/terminator/ Its going to be to “rich” for me Steve. I would have liked to have tried this one but left it to late to start from the beginning. While you will be able to finish this over 12 months the cost of the monthly packs over a shorter time will be too much for me. When they list it for the UK it will be interesting to see if the cost compares to the original Hachette offering. Tony Happy Modelling
