Now that is very nice indeed!! I'm amazed at the finesse of the panel lines and such like given that the fuselage/wings are fibreglass and the level of detail in the resin/etch parts is sublime. The only thing I don't like is the price!!
Like the look of their 1:18 'custom made F-104 Starfighter too - one of my all-time favourite jets. I have the Hasegawa 1:48 kit with resin extras, which is very close to the top of my stash!!
Thanks for sharing Tom.

Fibreglass and its sheer size was always going to make it expensive and quite unique in static display format.
Considering its size and fibreglass, I'd say its cost is on a par with the 1/32 HK Model 1/32 B17G Flying Fortress which has an RRP of £270

The HK Model 1:32 B-17G is another great kit and equally worth the money though I'd want to add some of the aftermarket parts to it?
So many lovely models out there nowadays and not enough money!!

I noticed that they have a 1/48 XB-70 Valkyrie on the way, that will be a imposing beast.

Al Certainly will Al, Italeri do a 1:72 kit of the Valkyrie and that is huge enough. At a rough estimate, it'll be about 4ft in length and with a 2ft wingspan in 1:48 scale!!
