    Holy K-rap that's big!!!!! Now if it was a 1/32 B-17 or B-29 I might think of dropping $600 on one, NOT!!!


    A 2006 study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found that Americans drink an average of 22 gallons of beer a year. That means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles per gallon.

    The Amodel kits are of short-run type.But looking good.There are PE and rasin parts included mostly.That's way the price is like it is. Personally I don't like these kits.

    That's one heck of a price for a kit of something that managed to climb a few feet, then spent the rest of it's life in a bl**dy shed!!
