Gents, I would love to say that I will have this available but unfortunately the move will impact that possibility for at least three to four months. I am glad however that I was able to provide information on what I know is a very hot topic. Dave

Looks like she's finally out there.
Merit's website has it available as of now.

Seen elsewhere that spreubrothers now have it in stock for purchase.

Free time hobbies has it on preorder for $160.00 which seems like a great price for a large ship.

Models-For-Sale will be stocking it but his stock is coming by sea so will be the end of the month before he has any.

I thought that they were a wholesale supplier that doesn't deal with the public directly like pocketbond?

The kit isn't in the country yet, it is due early May at the suppliers. I'm hoping to get some in stock in my online shop in the UK but no guarantee at the moment.

Mike this was an answer to David, also while speaking to the owner he has said he will be getting some in.
