I suppose there could be a misunderstanding but they were clear on which "kit's" I was asking for since that portion of each quote was correct. RCJapan has responded but said they would have to come back with details as they are not up to date with FlightHobby's newest kit. Perhaps their shipping charges will clear things up. It appears that Paypal at 2.5% seems to be more economical for currency exchange than CC or banks. There is no reason for either kit box to be oversize nor is special packing required so it may just come down to today's worldwide shipping situation. Either airframe is going to get pretty expensive by the time everything is factored in on top of eating 400.00 for shipping a wooden kit,. It makes similar designs from Pegase [Matti's Excess or the Akuma] start to look quite good. Even though they are both composite fuse models with pre-sheeted foam surfaces, the shipping was only 400.00 each [however, that was quoted in November so probably can't count on that anymore either ].
