Limited to 5pcs. A touch on the pricey side however:

£32,805.00 or 4 interest-free installments of £8,201.25. Can I put anyones name down for one?

It appears they are developing a similar 1:40th scale SR-71 !

Out of my league by more than a tad but, I hope those who can afford to do so, enjoy them.

Cheaper to buy a real plane...... guys making this are out of touch with reality.....

If they don't sell any and they choose to not lower the price, they're out of touch. If they end up making a profit, they're good businessmen. Time will tell (though it might not tell *us*).

Amalgam are very, very good. I decided not to follow up on doing work for free for them to prove my quality quite a few years ago now. Sometimes I wonder if I should have done it to see where it went. I can't afford ANYTHING that they do, but the quality is without question. They'll sell all 5.

I was looking at pictures of the real deal located at Wright Pat, and they have the rivet count, rivet lines, and panel locations all wrong. One would think they would pay attention to details that are readily available for this price.... just saying......

Rivet count I could give a pass for, rivet lines & panel locations not so much; that's pretty slack (for the cost)
