Its impressive, but over priced i think.  You can get a 1/72 kit of this baby through Hobby Boss for a little over $200.00 bucks.

Not me .

Besides the cost, I do not have a spare room to one build it and two keep it after it is finished.

Just in case anyone is wondering the finished model would be:

53.2" L  X  8" W  X  13.1" H

NOW THAT'S BIG!!!

BTW, most of the length not surprisingly is account for by the barrel.

See ya

There was a time, albeit a short one, when I actively considered getting the Soar Art kit when it came out and was running in the $700 range. No way I would shell out over $1k for a kit, even one as big as the Dora, but I do admit that it's got a "massive" look that is very appealing if you've a) got the funds and b) the space to actually build and display it.

I can only think of a former forum member who would have a hard time getting this by the Mrs. After all he panicked about a kit 1/5 this one's price!

 

 

...at that price I would even have to ask my ex-wife for permission....both of them......

Is Manny still giving out Hen-Pecked Awards?

Looks to me like extras should be awarded.......

Is that kit available on layaway?

Say, for instance, 20 years of payments?

Who ever it is please post as many pictures as you can in your build log.

 

 

Well, it HAS been done. Check this: http://arquivo.modelismo-na.net/viewtopic.php?t=5747&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

And someone else was equally crazy.

Just look a the size of the BOX! (That tank is in the same scale, 1:35.)

That's one BIG box.

I see. Thanks.

I think I'll just settle for the Soar Art. Without figures... which, judging by the price, must be Sterling Silver.

Are they the same models?

This is a Aoshima Model and it's a pre-order from Dragon.

Here's another part, a set with 8 figures.

Besides price, is there a difference between the Soar Art and the Dragon?

Its also in an issue of FSM.

Why would they put out a kit that costs twice what the Soar Art kit costs? And eight figures on a Dora are going to be come lost pretty quickly. This whole thing just doesn't make sense to me.

Whoa,,,  that is a bit out of my price range,,,      looks nice though
