Tamiya

You've got aftermarket level of detail there.  If you were to take a decent kit and add that amount of resin, you'd be pushing well over £100. For the detail hounds, this might actually be a cost saving.

Won't stop the aftermarket adding more though.

Someone, somewhere will claim there some doohicky missing from a fin or somewhere, and produce a resin 'corrected part' at around $25 that will 'ensure accuracy'.

Even if there ISN'T a missing doohicky...........................

100 quid for a 72nd F-35 is nuts when here I can get the 48th scale one for $175nz and that's detailed to hell too.
That's a mental price guys ....we know how good Tamiya can be but are they that good ?

Phill, it is a 1/48 scale kit!

Given the detail, the size & the overall effect of inflation at the moment, I don't think it's that expensive for what it is.

Still not something I'm going to buy, though.

Guy well for 48th that's not bad but still a little much for our English mates ..at the mo 100 quid is $208 nz so for possibly the first time in years we're cheaper 😉 😀.
I did watch a build video on this Kit and WOW!! mate ..this is one hell of a kit 😍
The decal sheets alone are enough for some folks to have fits over .
Yep Tamiya went over board with this kit for sure....ive got the Kitty Hawk kit and that's almost good enough for me but I still want the Tamiya kit
