* It's just a proto-type mock-up ,.. just like the "Thunderbolt" one.

That does look very cool! It would be great to see it one day, and I like the paint scheme better than the "Thunderbolt" version displayed earlier 8)

You never know, but this feels like more than a prototype...

Looks like its a European exclusive, just like that Zero that badcat now has a few of. That means we could potentially get a few in through some special deal... It is expensive, though. If you work out the exchange rate between the Dollar and the Pound Sterling (which is approximately £1 to $2) then that tank is $80 from that store and the Bf-109G is almost $100 :shock:

Their pricing is fair based on UK standards, however. Having lived in that country, it was funny as when you went into a store, everything looked like it cost the same as in the US. £0.99 McDonalds Cheesburgers, £5.00 action figures, etc. It was just that when you figured in how much those items cost in dollars, it suddenly wasn't such a great deal...

I am with you MG42, no need for this at a bill plus. As much as we complain about prices it could be worse: we could be European collectors paying those huge prices!
