Seriously? I can agree with that thought if it is in regards to more Bf109 samples and Panther A,D,G kits but the Kittyhawk Su35 is one of a kind. They didn't exactly produce a "refined" kit either. You can tell by the test shots of the GWH Su35 that they have done their homework and are bringing another (albeit more accurate) Su35 to the game. Don't get me wrong, I may buy the KittyHawk Su35 as an "early" sample of the Su35, but GWH is number 1 on my must have for the stash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GWH has a "niche" in the industry and they do not exactly overproduce their kits in quantity either. I cannot find a 1/48 F-15C MSIP II here in the states anywhere. I'm sure I'm not the only hobbyist who would like to get their hands on one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A very stupid question! Why make another Spitfire IXe, a Me-109G-6, a F-104S, a Re-2000, an F-4E Phantom II or a Mustang kit? We already have them on the market!

It depends on what's your concept for a "nice" kit. In my dictionary I cannot describe a kit with most fictional details and obvious shape issue as a "nice" kit.

In my dictionary I cannot describe a kit with most fictional details and obvious shape issue as a "nice" kit. In English I like the expression "model kit". Two independent words. "model" is about representation of a real aircraft, it's accuracy. "kit" is tooling/injection quality, detail level, ease of build. For example the 1/72 Fujimi MiG-21s are great kits but somewhat questionable models. Old HPM model kits could perhaps be an example of good model but demanding kit.

Unfortunately, No. Even the https://world.taobao.com/ has no option to show English when you select your region as "United States". The only method is to use google translate on the top right corner of the Chrome. Some points that must be noted if you able to register the account (which require your phone no.) and able to make the order: 1. Ensure the user knows how to ship internationally, because most orders are local shipping, or to regions in Asia only. 2. The amount includes the shipping cost. This is because I found out for HK orders, the seller may defer shipping charges, and you paid the courier (SF express) when you received the goods. 3. The exchange rate of your credit card on USD to yuan. Very important. 4. Any service charge on customs clearance for overseas order. Sounds like a hassle isn't it? Well, that's why online and brick n' motor shops still exists and not be consolidated by giants such as Taobao or Alibaba. I just gave the link to give you idea for comparison. But I agree with one thing, this hobby is starting to get very expensive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
