I was checking out their 1/700 Bismarck ; looks like a quality kit . Comprehensive photoetch .
Maybe other companies are already doing this but it's the first I've seen it ,
They include the swastika in kit form -- build your own swastika , or not :

Looks like a nice kit. At just over 14" long with included PE parts and a wood deck it should make an impressive looking display. A little ouchy on the price but then my thought was maybe $70 is about right? Trumpeter that it's based off of is only $22? Hmmm, maybe not. Is PE and wood worth $48?

I also do like the manufacturers name.
 
Well, if rigorous attitude doesn't explain the price it is certainly used to justify it. Their philosophy "...to create and produce first-class products" could be a valid claim but too high of a price can affect the perceived value and drag the first class claim down.

I don't know what they actually base it on but $40-$45 would seem more reasonable to me for this highly detailed mass produced kit.
