I picked up one of these from Hobbylinc because it was on sale (probably like 35 whole cents cheaper than the standard discount – "Only Until Thursday!!!" I'm sure it said). I think I paid $4.63 USD. =]
Either way, it checks in on my radar for being under five bucks. (Under ten will set it off, but under five bucks and possibly 1/100 scale triggers full alert status).
These Hot Wings vehicles come with a small piece of "airfield" and they're listed under miscellaneous scale: box scale. The box is about the size of a chicken pot pie, so the scale gets farther from 1/100 the bigger the actual plane being modeled is in reality. In this case, there existed, of course, a helpful TMP thread, to assist my buying decision.
Linked here, because the discussion took place on the pulp forum, but this is a nice little vehicle for a near future/sci fi milieu, for many purposes, transport, objective, cover, terrain.
I think I'll give this one a very light coat of Nuln Oil (cause I own a bottle), and spray it with some dullcote.
Pics if and when I actually do. The model is in the shipping box in the cupboard. The humidity here was 82% when I woke up this morning.
