(20,474 posts)I'd like to see it in person (assembled) but I'd never fork out for it. If I were to shell out big bucks for a hobby, something like this would really excite me.
Go to the 2:25 mark of the video if you just want to witness/hear the takeoff. This baby streaks across the sky!

But not cheap, 85 weeks x $10.95 + $1.95 =$1,096.50!
But a high quality die cast model in this size is not cheap...they do let you pause your subscription if you need to or cancel.
