I just converted that to Au$.

I echo Brad C's comment.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Saw this on eBay this morning

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133354296760?ul_noapp=true

I do have one of these kit's on order but not from this supplier and I only spent roughly 25% of what they are asking, and that includes P & P!

Just saw this on eBay:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/223957774405?ul_noapp=true


Buy it now for just USD 125!

But at least the shipping is free!

Same seller has a lot of other kits on sale, all for rather "optimistic" prices.

Just did a ramdom search on ebay for kits of Blohm und Voss stuff.  There's one seller in Mexico with a kit of the proposed Bv 155C that got as far as the mock up stage before teh war ended.  Photos of the kit look smashing, it's 72nd, we're all gravy. 

Then I see the price.

Seventy notes.

For a 72nd kit.

What's this guy on?  Crack?

And then 20 notes postage, and undoubtedly the 30 notes the Post Office will charge you for "handling' it.

Sorry, Pedro.  You know what you can do with it.  And hopefully the prop will make your eyes water.

Well, you can always go for the 155C from sturmvogel11 on eBay.
Only 20 pounds. Does require "some" work though.....

I've had some of his stuff before.  To say I was less than impressed would be an understatement.  A mate reckons he's worse than Unicraft...

Stumbled across this seller and simply couldn't believe the prices!  Much of his stock seems to be the tat you'd find in under the table sales at shows and people are virtually giving them away.  Not this guy.  Cobbing runt...

AVOID!!!!

Don't get me started on his decals either.  Heller Tempest replacement decals for over a tenner?  Yeah, right!  Airfix PR19 "replacement" decals for 7 notes?  Really?!!!!   FOR THE KIT DECALS!!!!!!

Frankly, this thieving tosspiece should be put against a wall and shot, but not before he's had to pay a grossly inflated price to pay for his firing squad, their bullets, hookers, lapdancers, recreational drugs of their choosing and enough booze to fill an Olympic swimming pool.

I can fully appreciate your disdain for this individual, Lee, but shooting is too quick.  Why not sentence him to 25 years of assembling Unicraft and/or similar producers offerings to display standard........................he'd probably prefer to be shot by the end of year two!!

Someone on eBay is trying to sell the Revell  1/144 C-17 for over £100 ,  you'd expect the 1/72 model for this price!

One of these would go nicely with my MiG 21 Analogues.  But not at $AU790...

It'd make a nice pair with my 1/72 Concorde too.

£377.00 in the UK. GULP!  :o

I think my Airfix Concorde cost £30...............................

Which one of our countries is meant to be the capitalist one?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

The Concorde is all injection, Modelsvit and A Model's big kits have hand laid fiberglass fuselages and wings. It's where the cost goes to.
