Just paid a visit to my LHS and they already had them in stock. The boat (1 per package) is slightly under 2" in length, and comes with extra parts to make at least 2 versions; 5 - 6 parts per version. The boat comes in full hull only, with a small scenic (water) base. The model is actually for small unit war-gaming. I wonder how long I'll have to wait for the AM bits!
