That 1:24 scale model of the Countryman that was announced last year is finally making its way into the reseller chains.



Saw one for sale on eBay for first $42.80 + $12.80, then I started Googling around looking for a cheaper price.

Not much later, I found it at Plaza Japan for $36.77 (USD) + $12.64. Since it's flying in from Japan, I'm not going to pick a nit about the shipping costs, but it's still cheaper than the near retail price ($60) that everyone else seems to be hawking it for.

I'm planning it on painting mine Cosmic Blue Metallic or at least some close facsimile to match big Cosmo -- can't wait to start working on it!

Standard boilerplate disclaimer: I have absolutely zero affiliation with either the eBay seller or Plaza Japan and am not profiting in any way by posting these links. No advertising kickbacks, no affiliate codes, no nuthin!

 

It's $34.29 at Hobby Link Japan. No time to check shipping right now, off for some tattoo work.

 

Thanks, but HobbyLink is on backorder 4-6 weeks and $34.11 + $16.23 (or $18.66 or $11.03 depending on shipping method) -- Plaza Japan still has 4 in stock and already shipped my order.

They both subscribe to a policy of currency conversion based on active exchange rates.

 

Cool! I always buy several kits when I order from HLJ to make it more worthwhile with the shipping.

 

Thought about that, but I haven't done any real model building in years, so I figured I better start with just the one. :D

 

Have you ordered and built it yet?

 

I just saw one of those at the local hobby shop. Didn't check the price.

 

Squadron is a source: HE24121 But $53.09 is steep.
