Had to have this one to add to my WWII collection. It's a reissue of the old 1980 Matchbox kit. At least it is molded in 2009 in nice Revell grey plastic and and still sealed inside,,, and a real nice decal sheet too. It does have scribed panel lines,,, old but should do nicely! Been wanting one of these for a while.
It's been about 3 years now I've been buying model kits. I buy lots on ebay, some from on-line stores, lots @ Hobby Lobby. I've been look at kits every day on ebay for 3 years and this is one that you don't see too often in this condition. Prices do keep going up.
Some of them you just have to bite the bullet and pay the price if you really want it! This one set me back $53! OUCH !! But I Like the plane, I want to build it, so It's worth it to me. The longer I wait the more it will cost !!
The OLD Matchbox kits go for near as much, are multi colored plastic of lesser quality, have a poor decal sheet in comparison. So it's really not that bad for todays prices.
Anyway, it's a done deal now !! I think it will be a great kit !
