1:18th scale B-17 model (well, the nose anyway)

Has anyone seen this:

It looks terrific, but it's wildly, insanely expensive and extremely rare.

And, according to this review/builder, the kit itself sucks with bad directions, missing pieces, etc. and is very hard to put together.

Still......looks sweet!

Sounds like a nightmare to build!

aslo sounds like a nightmare to buy as it costs many hundreds of dollars.

This one is not so fancy but is the full bird.

I have one of these kits I got on clearance at Squadron some time back ($200) and I'm quite pleased with mine. No missing parts, fuse section is molded pretty nice, no complaints. It's not a kit for the faint of heart to be sure but I think the dudes write up was abit harsh, imo.
