in the uk the Blue Max series is not horrendously overpriced. At 20
quid it is cheaper than most Dragon (upto 25 quid) and now Hasegawa
are getting up to that range as well (1:48 Ki 100 just came out at 19
pounds!) :-( i suppose it's all relative.
I'm sure you can order them at these prices direct from pegasus, and
their mail order prices are supposed to be ok? I have the Junkers D1
and Ne 28 and defininately think they're worth the money. Maybe i
should build something!
