$ doesn't always represent American dollars, it also represents the Australia Dollar. Which is worth about 54 cents of the US dollar (a pain in the A** when ordering from America. I use money orders instead of credit cards (Im 13) and for a International Money order, it puts me up for about $9AUS. Revell Kits cost about $25 here, and Tamiya costs about $40- $50. So I very rarely buy Tamiya kits (but I have been working on the Revell ITR for about 5 months now). I have picked up some Tamiya kits for $10 which was great but I still havent gotten around to building them yet
. The ITR has been taking up alot of my time (serious mods).
Sorry for getting off topic, but it has been a while since I've posted here.
P.S: Pics of the ITR up soon!
