Since this came out like 2 years ago I would guess anything new would be about 25-30% more expensive due to the dollar's fall.

The model though is great. I have one and I don't collect 1/700 anything. It is just a great model. Some photos:








Skytrex in the UK also makes finished 1/700 models. All UK warships at the moment. They are not as detailed as what Neptun does.

Would be a better looking ship if they had a second twin gun turret in front of the bridge ! Is this a take off of the Fletcher design?
