For that price I'd want it delivered by a 1 to 1 sized Cub and then be given an hour or so being chauffeured around above paddocks and farms near me.

There's something strange about that seller, most of the time their kits are wildly overpriced, making me think they either do that because the kit is not in stock and they're just keeping the spot without needed to redo the ad or they use some kind of bot to do mass listings that is somehow screwing up the pricing.

Well, at the cost, the package better bloody-well be hand-delivered via a privately-chartered Gulfstream corporate jet :roll:

You know what does go for stupid prices, the Airfix Piper Cherokee. Several have gone for 30-40 bucks lately, even though there seems to be quite a few of them on ebay.

What is even worse is if they are paying that for one moulded by Toltoys in NZ. The plastic they used on the Kits they punched out (Cherokee, Jet Provost, etc) is so soft and bendy it's virtually unworkable.
