Greeting to all my fellow modelers out there!!
Has anyone seen this Skyraider http://www.zoukeimura.co.jp/en/products/sws03_skyraider.html
Better hurry up if you want one. I may have to do without cable for a month or so for this one. 27,930 yen, that’s about $350.00 if you want the works. Wish me luck.
Saw the add for it, had a little interest…then I saw the price tag and had NO interest what-so-ever!
thats going to be one big bird. i saw this while looking at their mustang. price tag isn’t so friendly.
Thanks for the great info but “no thanks”. Absolutely too much money for me.

Saw the add in FSM. Looks like a great kit. Price is wayyyyyyyyy too high though.
Ive been noticing a few "new" forum posters are nothing more than people trying to advertise something…like this thread. Have they found a way around the forum rules? And I agree…theres no way Im paying 350 bucks for a plastic, or any medium, aircraft kit!

I’ve noticed the same thing, too. And I couldn’t agree with Fermis’ statement more. I love my hobby but I can also recognize when manufactures are trying to screw me and my fellow modelers over.

Edit: Just out of curiosity, I noticed that Zukiman has three posts, two of them were directing us towards web sites. And is there a connection between “Zukiman” and “Zoukei”-Mura, Inc, the manufacturer of the overpriced Skyraider? My $@#^ detector is going off on this one.
Ha! My point exactly…I was too lazy to type all that but his name and the manufacturers name were too similar. Im glad Im not the only one with an activated BS alarm! And..is this a real kit? Has anyone ever heard of this Manufacturer? I havent…but that doesn`t mean too much…lol.

The kit is real and the manufacturer is legit.
Also, the price of the kit is only $141.00 (on par with almost every other 1/32 kit being released by Trumpeter, Tamiya, et al.)
The $350.00 gets you TWO kits and a bunch of extras, to include figures, extra decals and a carrier tractor.
A lot of information about Z-M and their previous kits can be found on the Hyperscale and Large Scale Planes forums.

Throw in the carrier and it’s a deal. Actually, this kit looks very interesting, only not my scale. I really like SPADS though.
No troublemaker 66, I’m not trying to advertise the kit. I just thought it was a great model and wanted to pass the site on to anyone who might be interested.
Nope, no connection. Just thought someone else might be interested.
I have no connection with that company. It was the model of my motorcycle ( before it got trashed).
Yeah, your right, that’s the price with the works.

Compare the level of detail of the Revell Arado 196 for under 40 bucks to this one. [blkeye] What they want for this Skyraider, I can buy a .60 powered 60-70 inch wing span RC ARF (Almost Ready to Fly) model that I can actually fly. [8-|]
Here is a picture of my baby
Sorry to set off so many BS-O-Meters.
Zukimann
looks like the picture didn’t post. oh,well.It was blue & white 2002 Suzuki GSX-R750.
Alas, gone for good.
Zukimann
Make an A-1E instead of an A-1H and we’ll talk.
I have their Ta-152 and the Shinden. They look to be even more detailed than Tamiya’s 1/32 offerings. The instructions are in color not only with illustrations, but pictures of the sub assemblies as they go together.
I’ll be passing on the Spad. I prefer WWII aircraft. If I did want one, the only hesitation would be to look in the checkbook before ordering.
You can also buy them through Volks USA in Los Angeles.
