I'm going to grab that one,good price with too many goodies to pass up.but who knows when I will build it ?

It's not quite ready yet, but getting closer.

FYI I received a test shot of the flight deck today... no deck planks on this version. So that should show it's not "ready" ready, but closer....

I saw a test shot of the hull tonight...It will be a great kit once it gets completed.

I know who you live near

LoL...I won't tell if you don't.

He's been a friend for many years. A super nice guy!

Oh my gosh ! The stress of reading all this................... I can't take any more. Okay, so I did pre-order this one
Supposed to be available by the end of October. Price including postage is 144 Euros.
cheers,
Julian

I will honestly be surprised if it is the end of October, especially with shipping, etc.

Hopefully not much later than that; I'd lve it to be out in time for the holidays!
