Overall, I’m very happy with the item. I can’t say anything about the assembly (yet), as it’s a gift. Otherwise, the item is in mint condition, the paper parts are in their original packaging and the box is undamaged. What’s more, the entire parcel was very well packed and survived the long journey to Germany without any damage. The price is also more than fair; the delivery time (approx. 2 weeks) is of secondary importance to me – you simply have to expect that when ordering from outside Japan. I can highly recommend buying from Plastic Model Republic!
