It's still <$49 there.. Trying. so. hard. not. to. buy....  But then Carl says he has 15 of them and this would be ONLY two for me... so I'm still WAYY behind him.... and its Tamiya...and its an Mk. IXc to go with the Mk VIII from the Christmas Raffle....... 

The PlazaJapan search engine is frustrating.  Searching "F-15" hardly turns up a kit, but lots of other stuff.  But "F-15E" turns up some kits...  Can anyone recommend a good 1/48 or 1/32 F-15E Strike Eagle kit?  PJ has the Bunker Buster version but that seems like overkill.  I'm looking to show this inflight so don't really need all of the radar/avionics stuff to detail.  (Not that I know hardly anything about the F-15 TBH).

Yes, the Plaza Japan search engine has undergone some changes, and

not for the better. I used to just put in "Tamiya 1/35" for example and

get everything that Tamiya makes in 1/35......not anymore. It has become

useless. I hope this is only temporary. As for the F 15 in 1/32 Tamiya

makes some.

The trick to  the Plaza search is to use the column on the left

Side of the page. Select plastic models, aircraft, brand and

you'll find what you need....eventually.

I know.. I know...you just got a 1/32 Hase Ju-87 but not @50% off!! The Academy Hawker Hunter was also 50% off at my Hobbytown in Mobile plus I p/u the Tamy 1/48 P-51B got a couple of more decal sets for the Recce Crates they are colorful.Those three kits were covered by the generosity of my older Sis($100)for my B-day yesterday I spent another $149 on supplies.

That Stuka is my holy grail kit.

40 dollars!! No way!! 

I live about 10 minutes from the Aviationmegastore.com 

They have all the kits you can dream of, but not the Hase Stuka.

Enjoy!  I have my next projects lined up: Me262 and Tempest on the bench. The He162 and then Me163.

Shipping is high. I buy items and try to keep the cost under $ 30.00usd

by considering the size of the items I buy.  You can choose regular post and

save. If you choose, for example, fedex,  shipping is quick-a few days-but processing

the order can take a week before its shipped. I only buy from them when I see significant savings on a item. On Tamiya kits

you can save a lot.

I ordered two kits VM F-4 1/32 and a Mossie 1/48 both Tamyia with shipping still cheaper than the F-4 by itself stateside.Just give me a reason

I need to have a yard sale for some kits.
