$70-$75 plus post (WAG). Direct conversion suggests $78, but this might sell better in North America than in Europe, so maybe the margins will be lower. All depends on the sellers' view of maximizing profit.

The price doesn't surprise me. If the quality is there, I'll still get one.

It's available for pre-order from Tower Hobbies in the US for $39.95:

I'm not in any way connected to Tower Hobbies, but thought I'd pass this on for those interested.

I got a quick look at the sprues today at the Revell stand at the IPMS Nationals. That thing has a LOT of parts. I'll get a few snapshots tomorrow if anyone's interested...

Sorry I didn't think to get a closeup of the decal sheet, but I imagine most will be getting aftermarket decals anyway.


Cheers!

From the sprues, it looks like they have two alternative nose caps. I was wondering about that, because the initial presentations I'd seen were more pointed/less rounded than what I thought the classical shape was. Subsequent research on my part suggested there were two shapes, and it looks like the kit offers both.

I wonder when we'll get one with WW2 decals?
