Isn't there always a few Revell 1/32 Raiden listed on eBay these days? Lots of guys trying to recoup the big bucks they paid for them now that the new Hasegawa 1/32 Raiden kit is out

Cheers,

Doug

Yeah, maybe there are......but I think that the historical value and level of advanced kit making for the time is really way above average. The detail provided in the cockpit alone is enough to say WOW!

I think I will be happy with the Hasegawa kit. I just can't see the value in such an old kit, and I am pretty sure the fit and engineering of the newer kit may be a little better..
