Freetime over here in the States has them listed for almost $200. It was around $629 for the ship and all the extras! But, it is sure a beauty.

Hey Karl, LOL I know ...I've been putting $$$ aside for the Akagi but I think its gonna be worth it....If anyone else is gonna take on this bad boy I'd like to get advice or tips. I wanna do this right .

I've got the lot ordered as well. So far, all I can advise is "take your time" when building, but I'm sure there will be some other "watch out for " areas as it progresses.

I've also ordered the Akagi with all extras... I estimate it will cost me roughly 675 bucks ... but thats a great price here in Denmark .. so I'm pretty happy. I hope to have the kit in my hands in 2 weeks .... oh the wait. Christmas will be held early this year
