Ahhh...The prices maybe high but I think sometimes kits like those are "priceless" to some people too...I've paid "too much" for my Aurora kit and it didn't bother me a bit, I didn't even haggle with the guy...
It's all about what it means to the individual...MK and Yoshioka kits are defiantly a "cut above" so you know the quality is there, it's not like your buying junk...I know you guys know that..
There are some kits I would pay those prices if I had the money....I would like to have had the Citation, if I had the money right now I would have paid his price, but I didn't...I'm happy to see it going to a good home where it will be appreciated... [8D]
Fortunately there are other alternatives (Don's efforts) that keep these aircraft available for us to enjoy...But there is a mystique about the MK type kits that I doubt will ever go away... [8D]
Happy Flying!!
