I agree with John's appraisal of the Kaiyodo models. I have gotten several
myself and have another on order through a shop in southern Illinois (where
I found out about them from a friend at the ISGS). I would like to see
their catalog and see just how many model's Kaiyodo has. And I look forward
to your web page!
