Been around for ages.
But it's just a puny 1:200 scale, hardly over 4 feet long.
Here's mine in 1:144 (6 feet):

You get what you pay for. With many Trumpeter and Tamiya ships well over $100, think about a model twice the size in 3 dimensions- that's 8x the plastic, weight, box size, shipping cost, etc. A hair north of $300 is typical for the Nichimo.

You can find the even bigger Tian Jie kit (my 1:144 model above) at www.loyalhannadockyard.com ... and if you think $300 is steep...
