I should add that it's not mine. It was on eBay.fr a couple of weeks ago for a stupendous amount of money despite being started.

That kit is a thing of beauty. It may not have the astounding coolness of MIDORI's Moguras kits, but it's still awesome.

Aww, pity, Sean. I was going to ask you for some close-ups of the instruction sheet.

The Japanese have always made fantastic SF models/toys. Shame UK manufacturers don't do the same.

I was the seller of this kit, I found it in Germany for 1 Euro, I kept it at home some months then decide to resell; Sold 2500$, I had no idea of the value. The new owner is a Japanese guy, of course...

What a great story! I've just been to Germany and couldn't find a thing by way of old toys and models! Congrats on your great Ebay result! Where on earth did you find it for 1 Euro?
