Prices are going up, but this is ridiculous
OK, who on here is cashed up enough to get one of these?

now note this is 1/144th scale and at todays rate 34,200 JPY converts to an eyewatering $368 or thereabouts.
possibly made from Unobtainium

Think I will wait for the Hasegawa one (if they ever do one)

I'm still thinking that if Hasegawa do it, then it will be 1/144th, as they seem to be coming around to that a little more for aircraft that will just be too small in 1/200th
also their price would I expect be in the region of $40, or about 10% of the Fox One price.

Like the look of the P1. Looks like it would be maneuverable at low level with that wing. I'm sure hasegawa will do one. I thought I read I rumor somewhere they were. Trying to find it.

Then of course, there is always ebay to liven things up

I have a few of these, but probably not sealed in cellophane, but that is such a con anyway
