Nice looking model, as you say, expensive for what it is. I've just ordered HMS Belfast in 1:350 for £66.00
including postage, it will take a while to come but worth the wait.
You have to ask yourself, "did I get £60 worth of pleasure out of the kit?", if the answer is yes, then it's worth it.
What does it cost you to treat the wife to a night out with a meal?
