Pricing are not that bad, actually.

When the new Amodel I-211/5/6 kits are released, it will be good to compare prices to the big H.

The website that is selling the Sowa stuff is one I have used quite a bit for the more obscure russian stuff, and including postage works out a hell of a lot cheaper than any other site I have ordered from

ModelsUA is a good vendor - he's pretty quick and uses the old Earl Martell method of flattening boxes to lower shipping costs.

Most likely an indication that this is a LIMITED Production Run kit.

I think that is the way the European kits makers way of saying "limited run of only xxx kits"

This!  :smiley:
And AFAIK this doesn't necessarily mean that the kits are complete short-run kits. They can be from proper steel moulds. Just this particular boxing is only available in x units. Probably to save quite a few bucks during decal production. Between Amodel and Sova-M, they have about ten different boxings of the HP Jetstream.

Modelsvit has their boxings colour-coded:

Mind you, if it was "Only 450 pieces" in a 1/72 kit, one almost gets into rivet counting when building... ;D
