Overall, I am very happy with the item. I haven’t assembled it yet, but I have built similar kits from this manufacturer before and found their quality to be very impressive. The item is in mint condition; the injection-moulded parts and decals are in their original packaging and the box is undamaged. Furthermore, the entire delivery was very well packaged 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!
