Exclamation Akagi @ 1.250 scale

I am so tempted but it works out at 1500 dollars nz
Akagi - build a 1:250 scale metal and wooden model aircraft carrier exclusively from ModelSpace

Looks incredible, but as been said, $60 a month!!!!
I wish I could have gotten the 1/8 James Bond Aston Martin, that was issued a few years back, not in the USA, the same way. Weekly installments of parts.
If you find them now there like two grand. But sure would be nice.
I'm sure this carrier will be the same way, beautiful, but expensive when done.

normally they are issued as a fortnigthly issue like the bismark they did.they are bundling up the issues into 25 months each at 60 dollars delivered.hence 1500 dollars total

Artesania Latina also offered the HMS Surprise when it was released in an Installment Plan and as I remember the total cost was well over $1000 US. The model is now available from several sources for around $600 US. I would wait a while and see if the price drops. I would also Check out ANGRAF's IJN Akagi at 1/200. Here is a build article on the Model.

A commit on Artesania Latina kits. first I have to admit that I have not built a Latina kit for quite a while, but when I did build wood ship models the Latina kits were the SnapTite kits of wood ship modeling good for the biginner.
