I noticed that they were still taking pre-orders on Squadron for this kit and I was just wondering if anyone has seen the buildup of it yet? I sort of hoped that we would get a preview like we did with the VII C. I really look forward to the release of this, but I am sort of hesitant to place a pre-order until I see what improvements (if any) they have made on it from the Lionfish example.

Don't they know we'd be HAPPY to give them our impressions on any free sample they want to send us. Just twist our arms a little and we might even write a review for them.

The kit is not scheduled for release until September. The rumors you heard about spring were just that - rumors.

The test shots haven't even been done yet as the molds are still in tooling.

Relax people, it's coming...
