Yeah, I am watching it on eBay, thought it was yours.
Phew, it's going to make you some money........ Nice job, although, $207.50 at this time is a bit steep :)

I too would sell a spare if I had one. It would be silly not to.

Pfff, nice job James.......... That is a huge amount for a 1/32 kit. Congratulations on your sale. Are you going to buy a new car with the proceeds? LOL.

Second one sold yesterday for US$246. I had considered selling my last one as well, but will wait a while. After seeing Bruce Adam's build at my local IPMS club last week I am quite taken with the kit. Here are some photos:

There were a couple of WNW LVG C.VI kits for sale at the Vintage Aviator's airshow yesterday (they have a small stock on consignment from WNW) so I picked one of those up, but I plan to build that one too.

Do people honestly think that WNW - with a perfect set of hardly used moulds - will not simply press another few thousand kits in the future at some point?
