Sometimes I wonder about Ebay and their prices.the manufacturer sells this kit for $169.99 U.S. No bargain there! But for 40 bucks,now thats a deal.

I agree with silverback that in some areas the kit leaves a lot to be desired.I am sure that the rivet counters amoung us could easily bring it up to a fine level with a little scratchbuilding.As a starter kit for someone wanting to get into a new genre or for someone like me who mainly wants a presentable piece that looks good in a diorama I think it is worth the money.I guess its all in what you want to achieve.Personally I would rather do a bit of scratchbuilding than have to pay a lot more money for perfection. Cheers! John. P.S. the Jenny kit is their best yet ,as far as I am concerned ,but then it costs more too!
