The first thing you'll notice if you are looking at purchasing a HMAV Bounty Model Kit is the variance of prices between model ship kit manufacturers. This is because some kits have less parts than other kits & the cheaper kits rely on you the builder to have materials left over from past builds. The Billings Boats “Bounty Kit” is a single skin kit, that means your finished product will be determined by your skill at ship building & to sand paper, body fill & paint./ The Billings Bounty Model Kit is therefore cheaper then other manufacturers of ship models for the reasons outlined above BUT the kit is still great VALUE FOR MONEY, if you have the skill to make the Bounty from all the materials that are in the kit from Billings Boats. If you are a novice builder pay the extra $'s & get the Artesania Latina or Amarti kits
