Any idea of a release date ?

 The inclusion of resin, and PE parts ( multimedia kits ) has been increasing throughout the industry. Modelers are going to buy these parts, why not include them.  The "dark side" of this is......will the kit manufacturer do the research to insure that the dressup parts are accurate. Where "detailing" parts were first made by an independent manufacturer, concern for accuracy was the driving force. Will the concern, effort, and time be allotted by the kit manufacturers? Only time will tell.

It's already out in Europe. Hannants have it for £13.99 (approx USD28.00). Remember that it's only about 6 2/3" long...

Dan,

According to MRC, the kit is due out in the States in September. It's a nice looking kit and the reference book and the photoetched-metal parts are a great idea, particularly for oddball subjects like this where it might be tough to find references elsewhere.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the info and the comments :)
