Nothing is worth 140 bucks.
The sadness is that this level of 'or else' pricing allows Hasegawa to maintain IT's unfair strangle hold on their /prototype/ kit's price while the old Revell Hornet which wasn't -that- bad is apparently at the bottom of a black hole as well.
Given that the price of the kit doesn't cover what I would consider to be decent ordnance (it's critically short in a couple key areas and most will be dated-obsolescent inside five years) and such things as optional seats or even the gunbay et all details of the Hase and Tam 32nd kits, I have to wonder why everyone wheeps so profusely over what is basically a near clone of the Hasegawa 48th layout.
Given the /lousy/ sales of what is an overpriced offering here (the Trumpeter A-10 did better), here's hoping that Revell will realize there is a niche 'below 140, below 69, which even an ancient tool like their 32nd Hornet is will fill quite adequately.
I for one would buy one just to smash the conceited notion that we are all fools for Orient tooled uber kitten.
It's just too bad that Paragon is no longer in the resin conversion business.
