I do hope the MiG 29A has absolutely EVERYTHING if the asking price runs for
such an outrageous price.

What disappoints me more is, that Halinski charges a lot more for foreign customers.
For example, the recent Mig 29A runs for $67 and some ungodly amount of euro. If
one checks the Polish version of the Halinski site, they will be surprised to find the
conversion works to around $47! What's with the $20 jump difference? I don't know much
business, but I'm pretty sure Halinski has all means to charge whatever they want.
But something's doesn't feel right honestly - sure it may be be legal business, but it
sure isn't good business.

Now, I do still like Halinski kits and such, they're a great company no doubt. However,
perhaps refining of business practices should be in order?

I dislike their practice of giving out english instructions only with the kits bought directly from them. It's not like the kits bought from third party sellers are pirated copies.

I'm surprised to hear that... Are companies still this closed to the outside world in this age and time?
