Well, Japanese model manufacturers (especially Bandai) totally kick American manufacturers right in the cock in terms of quality.

If I had more modeller skills, I'd get this when it was released.

USE HobbyLink Japan FOR YOUR IMPORT NEEDS!!!!

Hasegawa is little better than Lindberg, though.

Exactly: Japanese kits > Western kits.

Yeah, but Hasegawa are the only model makers who could manage to make a ball from seven different parts

And that's a bad thing?

You're forgettting that Hasegawa has the reputation of just needing to throw some glue and paint in a box, shake it up, and out pops a fully built kit.

I recomend you aquaint yourself with Eduard, From The Czech Republic. Fan-tastic. They specialise in WWI, though, and I know the kind of interest that generates on this board.
