I've bought from this gent several times before and I've never had any problems with him.

It's not cheap, but where else will you find a kit of this one?

If you do buy it, feel free to tell him that I recommended him.

Ya know, that resin kit might actually have more detail than the "real" thing :lol:

One I do want but not at that bleeding price.

Interesting subject I agree. But Rafa and I tell you that its way more cheaper to build it from cardboard!!!!  :lol:

French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

I was going to say something too, but I don't think I have too.  I know resin kits are expensive but........... :wacko: my Short Belfast was only a few more dollars than that and this is smaller than an F-117 :jawdrop:

Looked at it and saw the price, $ 7.50. Thats when i noticed that that was the shipment cost...

I would rather convert the Airfix Sopwith Camel into this than payt 800 kr :rolleyes:

I'd rather have the earlier configuration with the upper podded engines.

I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

As far as I know, this kit represents general shape of a plane only. No details at all.

A little to expensive for such a crappy kit :)

Overpriced?

Very!

Poor selling strategy?

Absolutely!

Robbery?

Err....no.


He's not forcing anyone to part with their money.  Just advertising something for what most of us consider an unreasonalby high price.  If there is someone out there who disagrees and pays the $125 for it, well I hope they enjoy it, and good for the seller for proving Barnum right again!
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

I don't know why you all have your undies in a bunch...I've seen that kit go for more at trade tables.  The latest resin kit I was sent for review retails at 129.99, and when I opened up the box yesterday, I just about went into shock with laughter. Teeny tiny, with lots of air bubbles just for haha's.

If he can get someone to part with $125, then my hat's off to the seller and I raise a beer in his honor for making one helluva sale.
