I'll wait a bit. About 6 month aftre release I bought my 200th scale Arizona for 80 Euro on evilbay. I guess that 150€ for the Big B will be feasible.
Since I won't build it anytime soon, patience should pay off.
Cheers,
Guido

Yikes !
Over 4 feet long.
I have a total weakness for all things Kriegsmarine.
I will buy one, I am just not sure where I will display the thing.
I suspect the photo-etch makers will go into overdrive on this kit.

>Hand-wheels and sights for the light and medium Flak weapons
>Helm, motor controls, interior details, mooring gear for the ship's boats
>Details for the Arado-196 f that would excite the large scale wingy-thing builders.
> Searchlight bits that would turn each projector into a weekend project.
>1,546 seperate rivets for each main turret ( detail trolls will have a field day)
>And a resin water-bowl and litter-box for Oskur the kitty/ship mascot.

I am really wanting to get one. BUT, two things are stopping me.

First that thing is a monster. Second, paying for it.
