Models such as this of such a specific and specialised subject have to be expensive to be in with a chance of recovering the initial tooling costs. I guess it is up to how much someone wants to build such a model.

I have just bought a very rare resin model of Stingray that retails from the kit manufacturer at 170.00 pounds. I was actually really pleased as I got it for half price!! Then, just to cap it all I am intending cutting it in half to put RC gear into it!! I doubted my own sanity at the time as well.
