I actually have this one on pre-order. I haven't done much looking around, but I got this way back in November. Looking forward to seeing it in person.

Hmm, already built it in it's original incarnation. It was a pretty good model even though it required a little help here and there with a little PE and creative sprue stretching. Oh wait, I do that with all of 'em. It is nice to see that they are updating some of these old warhorses to get a different look to them. Of course, we will expect to see a nice build article out of you now Jim, since we know you are going to get one.

Jay, Yeah, I will have to actually build one of the ships I have in my stash. I get all excited to build one, get started, and life gets in the way. I should have it with in two weeks or so, I use SAL post from Japan. I shall keep everyone informed as to the kit.

Funny how that works, but life does have a way of getting in the way of things. I am thinking about getting another Tone off of Evil Bay this morning. It's the older version but the price it right and there are things that can be done to alter it's appearance.
