I was doing what I do best (Surf the Net) and came across this little PR nugget. Appears to be a complete model kit (Non-Firing). Looks pretty good and costs about $395 bucks. Not to shabby considering the G&P conversion is running in/around the same price range, but requires the added Mauri Thompson to complete the work.

So maybe this is a “Low Costâ€

That looks disturbingly like the Frontier Models kit I had.
I know FM claimed to have remastered their kit and added a "functioning" GL section, so that's what it looks like to me.

It looks better than the FM I had, but still needs some more work, IMHO.

From what I understand the Spaceart kit is modified
Frontier Models kit, which is a modified Terran Traders kit.

I started a thread about this very same kit on the "old" board:

pub11.ezboard.com/... topicID=3099

(Look while it's still up;) ).

Basically I was told to steer clear of this one- besides Space Art has priced it too high.

This thread could have been in the main forum eh?

Hope this helps.
