Great news, especially with the Bismarck epic's 75th just two months after the announced release. This is one of those "it's-about-time" model selections!

At last, although I thought this was coming from Trumpeter looks like they only did the moulds.
Now can we have one of the armoured carriers.

All,

I verified with the Merit Distributor that it will be released in March. He also stated a price has not been identified

Todd,

I will take special orders but Crimson Models and Hobbies will be temporarily closing its doors until after the move.

Todd,

Thanks, well need it. The contractors the Army gets to move us aren't the best, especially when moving halfway across the globe

not sure who has it on pre order in the uk at the moment but do not use boystown military unless you want to lose your money see other posts on here to see what others have said about them
if you really need it asap never had a problem with HLJ but you will pay customs usually £30+ on top
