VADM Fangschleister Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Was surfing eBay for aftermarket for the kit and found two of the kits with shared Hasegawa/Monogram logo boxtops. But the weird part was the kits were up for sale at over $350 for one and $633 for the other, both in Japan. Plenty of "legacy" kits for much much less available in the $75 range. I guess in Japan, that kit might be worth that kind of money but jeez. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MoFo Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 They didn't. Hasegawa distributed Monogram kits in Japan, so they're branded Hasegawa/Monogram, the same way that MRC used to brand their imports MRC/Hasegawa, MRC/Academy and MRC/Fujimi in the past. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
P-38 guy Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 He is just another of a growing number of ebay Japan sellers listing kits at crazy prices. Look at his other items. I ran into one the other day when he had just listed items and it was just page after page of this guys crazy items. I looked at total number of kits listed by him and it was over 5K.
