Wow, that's an excellent subject. Glad to see it in plastic.
I see you mentioned this as one of the potential subjects for the "Flight of the Intruder" campaign.

Greetings everyone,

Andy, please don't take this wrong, just a heads up the retail price set for the kit in the US is $109.95 ($59.99 figure is below wholesale cost or are you referring to GBP?). JAC Hobbies will be selling the kit with a 28% discount from retail. Here is the direct link if your interested.

Hi Brian

Most of this imformation was scavenged from the web and the $59.99 USD is what Lucky Models website currently has it listed for... unless that price is set to change

It would be best for the review to have the MSRP though

As Aeroscale goes all over the world I don't think that it is so essential that we have the RRP in the USA. US$59.95 is the price at Luckymodel, I checked again to make sure. That price quoted sounds a bit high.. Is this typical of distributors in the USA as well? No offence meant to anyone.

No worries Warren. I see your point, the price given is just a guide price and in this case Lucky Models own Kinetic Models and are the main distributor of Kinetic Kits. So I believe the price is accurate. Personally I think including the price is a good idea as it can influence whether the reader will be interested or not, particularly now that some manufacturers are becoming so expensive.
All the best.
