Revell is satisfying a Vance Crosier request.

The LHS had one all opened up for the ogling when I swung by today. Couldn't resist. Absolutely gorgeous kit. Though the prominent "Plus Canadian Decals!" message on the box did set me to snickering. So random.

Yeah, what`s that all aboot...eh?

WOO-HOO!

Mine arrived today!

This is the FIRST time I've gotten not only a new-release when "everyone else" is getting one, it's the FIRST time it's a kit that meets the paradygm I set! Quality kit, low-price, preferred manufacturer, preferred scale, AND timely!

What a dork..... Big Smile

I just bought one yesterday from a HobbyTown about 3 miles away from me. It cost about $26, no shipping charge at all for me. It's also nice that Tamiya paints are showing up in their stocks now. Looks pretty good to me. I was pretty busy New Year Eve and haven't had a real chance to look at it in detail until now.

Of course, and their model company will be coming out with a better PV1 when? Does Gaston frequent Armorama?

A 1/48 Ventura kit from "TamigawaDragTrump" would have cost 80.00 plus shipping, had they released one instead of Revell...

Easily... And since the LHS has it for $26 and change, I wont mind the gas and tax to buy it there and support the shop.

But it proves my point..

You`ll get no arguement from me brother! I`m with you on the price some of these kit manufacturers are askin` for...been dyin` to get my hands on one of those Kinetics E-2C Hawkeye kits but ain`t paying 90 bucks for it. Might change my mind if I hit the Mega Millions Lotto tho`..... Big Smile

At Tower Hobbies, TM.. You need to order over 71.00 of stuff to get free shipping..

For just the Ventura, my shipping was 9.99 from Tower... Not too bad..

It's 71.00 and change for free shipping now..

Where? I just bought one from Omnimodels on Ebay for 33 bucks total....$ 7.00 shipping. Kit was $25.99. Too bad you would have to buy 3 of them to get free shipping from wherever you`re talking about Hammer.
