You are getting many times the number of parts and the parts are at a higher
quality level than their armor kits. In addition, the kit has white metal
landing gear and two complete resin engines. Trying to compare the
physically much larger and more complex A-10 kit to their armor kits on the
basis of price is like comparing apples and oranges. The price is seems
appropriate for the kit, at least in the US. The UK price does seem a
little high as the kit can be easily found for $75 USD over here in the
States.
