Yes Mike,

I look forward to get a hold of one, but from the pictures I see a few things I do not like (and frankly a bit off). They are mainly concentrated in the stern area: pods of the auxiliary creeper motors do not have the correct shape, the little screw are represented as what looks like simple sticks and the main screw is ok in shape but the cruciform attenuator is all wrong...
And finally, I fail to understand why HB (and others) keeps representing the limber holes as a shallow depression while it would be ok to just have them closed!

All in all, at this stage I like the MikroMir offer better.

The other thing I do not get is why the Alfa is showing in stock at Hobbyeasy, but the Victor is nowhere to be seen (and it initially was foreseen for mid-June).

Thanks for the heads up!
