The differences of course is, one can build a S-51 and a military Dragonfly from the Belcher Bits kit and its resin v styrene. Thomo.

I agree that the price is higher than expected but the Belcher one sells here for about twice the pric eof the AMP kit. Still I wondered which is the better choice for money.

bentwaters81tfw Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I paid C$48 for the Belcher kit direct, so horses for courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentwaters81tfw Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Glad I bought mine when I did. I had to wait while he did a fresh batch. Perhaps he increased his price then, and I got the old price as a pre order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree - after my first little shock. Looking at Italeri prices it is a bargain with the huge PE fret and masks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my mind 48th is the right scale for this machine. It looks a very nice kit at a very reasonable price too, given the discussion on some other threads about the price of other low volume kits.

Caerbannog Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Correct - "huge" is a bit too positive. I was thinking about the PE which is included in other boxes sometimes - like Italeri Wessex. Compared to this the AMP fret is about twice the size I guess from the photo above. This is what I had in mind when I said "huge" :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
