Well, from the Czech Republic to Pennsylvania, USA will cost me $220.  I’ll wait until it gets here on its own.

[Rick Griewski]

+1

And if the kit does not get here on its own then forget it.  

[BiggTim]

Holy shart, that's more than I expected. I'll wait a bit as well.

[Dave Williams]

$55 shipping to the U.S.  I’ll wait.

All the hollerin' 'bout a P-51B, then all of a sudden 2,800Kĉ (about £100) is too many Karunas. 

Not my bag but if it were the price is entirely reasonable cf Kōtare, Tamiya et al.

Looks like a nice kit with everything needed except tools & paint.

Can't agree more Tony. 

[Kenneth Joy]

It does look really nice.  Im not a big fan of the Mustang...but this looks really nice.  I may get one when it hits Sprue Brothers

The price isn't bad at all, I'm waiting only to TRY to save a bit on the shipping .I agree with you it does look nice ,and SHOULDN'T need to get any aftermarket. Of course I have to "squirrel" the deal as I'm looking for decals/ masks to do the Bendix racer. 

[Cicchino]

Looking forward to building at least a couple, but I’m in a position where I don’t feel compelled to preorder. Hopefully that allows for some consistent pricing to be sorted out.

 

the great news that this is the next kit in a flood of desirable kits for us

 

regards

Don't get me wrong, I'm excited, just hoping to save a bit on shipping. I WILL absolutely buy it, and probably more than one.

+1! I'll have to wait for the version that has the dorsal fin to do the Bendix racer. So the first one will be the Salem Representative. See? I gots it all planned out!

I did a preorder with Squadron shop for this kit today. $165+ about $9 shipping. 
Sounds pretty decent to me. 
Now I have to decide which one to do- oh the humanity🤪🥴🫩.

Kotare Spitfire = $109 USD

Eduard P-51B = $165 USD

 

Im not strong in math but at least in the US this feels like a pretty big difference? Some may not be just rolling in cash right now so apologies if I was hoping this was gonna be a little more on the $100 USD side. 

 

Just to note - I am THRILLED there is a new P-51B kit in 1/32 that looks to be extremely well done from what I see so far. I'm just having challenges getting used to 1/32 single engine WW2 props now more than $150 - yes I know it has "aftermarket" included but still it is somewhat shocking to me but I guess im gettin 'old lol....

Royal boxings are the dearest releases I will wait for the standard boxing of it as it will be much cheaper. Cheers.
