CSS Hunley 1/72 Resin Price Check Wanted

I've seen these for sale on many sites for $30 - any better prices out there?

Also, comments on the Verlinden version? Not clear if that is an updated kit.

Cottage Industries may be the actual maker. Also interested in the Verlinden MONITOR.

I tried one of the old "product unimproved" Hunley kits, but too much trouble to get it to look at all right. The simplicity of form would make the Hunley a good candidate for a wooden kit. Manufacturers reading ?:)

Re: CSS Hunley 1/72 Resin

Yes, that would be ideal .....except i find the vision, patience, & manual dexterity are not what they used to be. :-/
