at least it's not them crap vacuform wings like the kaiyodo KG had
John - I had that kit, and it was so incredibly bad that I gave it away. Then, a certain store in Chicago that only sells on Ebay now offered to sell me a really "nice" Kaiyodo Ghidorah that was a "piece of history" for just $200 --and it was the EXACT SAME KIT I had given away a couple years before - not just the same model, the actual kit I had given away!

I guess it can be called a "piece of history", but a piece of something else comes to mind. :x

Bill - Looking great - Ghidorah's shaping up nicely.

Wow - what a crazy story. I guess you were meant to have that kit.

Bill, I'm looking forward to seeing your buildup. I love G vs KG dio's.

Yes, HOM. He sent me pics of the kit and it was exactly where I had stopped working on it when I gave it away.
