I snagged one of these on eBay and just got it a few days ago. Absolutely perfectly NIB, wrapped in plastic. Not a single rip or pull. A collector's dream. But I'm a builder.
However, I am leery about opening it after reading some other people's reviews of the kit. Especially about supposedly useless plastic wing skins, the need to re-engineer assemblies, etc.
I saw the Madcow version, but it is smaller and has an oddly un-scale shaped nose cone and conduit.
Considering what I paid I could scratch build one for less and stick this one on a shelf. Anyone with first-hand experience with one of these?
P.S. This is the larger Ester/NCR one.
