Its Peter O’Toole ……and this is the wrong Duck..

Its a hollow kit and IM style construction with a thin (ish ) wall thickness and strength where needed so isnt as heavy as you would think

He already has loads of parts for p51b aswell, from his 1/18

As far as i can see, i buy kits from Airfix, Tamiya Trumpeter , Revell, all seem fairly evenly priced i dont think theres anything i buy kit wise that comes from the states, so for us in the uk, nothing will change, from a cost point of view however if the likes of hk, trumpeter etc dont have access to a US market, it might change their subject choice or reduce it… so bad for everyone. interestingly last week, my son who runs a consol/video games shop (in north west uk) told me he had had loads of calls from USA from people asking if they can order the new nintendo from him as a private sale…. Not sure if it will make a difference on arrival in the states, he also said that he and many of his customers who had the already dificult to get hold of Switch 2 on pre order for june 5th were being offered stupid amounts of money from Usa friends in order to secure one

No idea where you are getting your figures from but no kit runs are anywhere in the region of the numbers you quote particularly in the larger scales, they tend to run max 2000 also, dont for 1 minute think that all the serious modellers are members and chat here, far from it, sites like this are the minority in terms of numbers of modellers, i specialize in designing kits and have done a number and never put,one on here, partly cos i dont have too and partly cos i dont want too and am not a “joiner’ tge border 1/35 spit is simply a rehash of the trumpy/generic chinese 1/32/1/24 one with parts the same but reduced in size, it wasa poor choice of kit as it was the same as the one everyone has but in a smaller scale… it offered nothing new other than less for your money casual modellers think nothing of paying 100 plus, our local toymaster has a number of kits around that price they sell well enough to the tourists as nothing is cheap these days
