Nice Trimaster collector's item on eBay, a Focke-Wulf Ta-152H-1, if you have the money to shell out (no, I'm not the one selling it, just thought it was interesting). I have a hard time picturing anyone actually opening and building the thing.

As it was already said in the earlier thread about the tiger kits. Capitalism.
He who has money, buys.
I can't imagine myself dishing out 159$ for that, even with the current favorable dollar to euro prices.
I guess I got lucky with that Trimaster Dora of mine. Cost me 30€ at a LHS, shrinkwrapped and all (not that I care about the wrapping much, seems overrated anyway).
If I were devious and greedy, I'd probably be selling it for similar amounts by now, but no, I made the sacrilegious thing and built it!
Of course the re-issues don't have all the goodies included in the Trimaster originals, but wasn't this kit released by both Dragon and Italeri?

Nice Dora, Eetu.
I bought the Dragon TA-152 H-0 in 1/72. I have no idea if it is the same as the Trimaster kit since this is the H-0 version, but it looks cool and even has some PE for the cockpit.
It only cost me 5 USD.....

Hi Emeritus,
would you probably sell your DORA now/in 2010
"for similar amount"?
best regards
