I bought two of the 1/35th versions; one for a hell of a lot of practice and one to go with my Takom M46. The casting is exceptional on them and the likeness is very good.

it is pretty high, unfortunately the costs of shipping from Asia have gone through the roof with Covid. I used to order a lot of stuff from HLJ and LuckyModel and such and now the shipping costs are just unbelievably high.
