Just yesterday I ordered one of these fom one of my favourite online shops for less than 24€ + shipping. Today I saw it for under 20€ + shipping in another online shop.
How is it possible that an up-to-date 32nd plane kit is sold so cheaply?

Yep, I got one for £19.99 at my local Modelzone.
At the Telford model show in November, Revell had one built up on the stand and I had to ask several times is that was the correct price. Unbelievable value, and should be a best seller. Well done Revell.
I think Revell have lost the plot, or just made up the price .

I just got two today, and i won't tell you the price, as it will make you cry, its who you know! and seems to be selling well.
its a good kit, the only thing i am unsure about is the canopy glazing, comes in parts for you to glue together, so care needed there, already have a set of etched seatbelts ready for it so, may start one after xmas, as i am sure there will be an etched set for it soon, and another decal set!

does seem remarkably good value ..perhaps the price will go up in a couple of months time by nearly 50% as it did with their Ju88....
