Don’t worry about people spending $50 bucks for that finished model - its $150 actually.

Heres where you can buy one:

For that price I’d rather build my own.

Geez, for that kind of money I could buy at least 3 or 4 Tigers plus the paint and still have money left over for decals. Has anyone seen any prices on the other pre-assembled Tamiya kits?
