Neat kit. But, it's such a simple design that anybody that's built a few models could build one out of spare pieces pretty easily. You just wouldn't have the cool base. This would also make for a good entry level papercraft project. I could make one out of shoebox cardboard and masking tape in about an hour.
Cool shit, but I say save your money and try to make one yourself, you'll love the sloppy little ship so much more!
While it isnt really on topic with Xevious it is about models.
Do somebody now a good site for papercrafts and other model things you can do yourself.
Like mechs, aircrafts and WWII Tanks and stuff. I love models, used to build terrain for my tabletop gaming and stuff, but never models like these.
