Great review Shaun. I saw this kit in my local hobby shop and nearly hit the roof when I saw the price - $78. I guess it WAS a markdown from MSRP. I think I will stick to the Italeri kit and add aftermarket items where needed. Ridiculous!

Thanks go to Charles Reading.
All I did was a quick edit and post it.
Always good to hear positive feedback.

Thanks Charles for the box review. Great to see what you get for the whopping price. Im surprised when they were going for such a high quality and a price to match, that they didn´t include at least some etched clamps/clasps.
Will you be building this one? That would make for an intersting blog.
