And that for a measly 139 Joeroos.

Superb it may be but I think I'll have to wait for Special Hobby to bring one out !

I doubt it, but is comparable with for example the Montex/AlleyCat Yak-1B which is currently listed at £89, but has been more expensive in the past, the Boomerang was £125, now £100.

Fair enough if the La-7 is your 'unicorn', but for most modellers who just buy / build/ accumulate etc, there is no way this is even remotely competitive in price

 

Furthermore, in real life this was a very basic (but bloody good) airframe, let alone in 1/32!

Unless this is Tamiya 1/32 WWII series in detail, it's way off the mark in price for me

 

But hey, each to his own...

This kit is resin? I find the La-7 very appealing.

Which is what makes the world go round, rather have an La-7 than a Do 335 for instance...

Me too. Dolgushin, Bazanov and Kozhedub come to mind.
