the Amodel 1/144 scale catalog shows a DHC-4 Caribou kit #1412.
Has anyone ever seen this kit?

I haven't heard of that one. I've got the Buffalo, and that's a typical AModel kit; lots of flash, rough surfaces and "some modelling experience necessary". Where did you find it?

Okay, fabulous! I don't think it's been released yet so we'll have to wait and see.
And just look what else is there; a Lincoln and an AN-225!

well,we'll hope for the best.
I assumed wrongly apparently, that the box numbering was related to the age of the tooling, so that maybe 1412 had been release in prior years, but I guess it doesnt really work that way...
edit to add, it appears the new additions are the B&W images.
did you see the other page? a DH Comet.

Google shows that 1412 was previously assigned to a Manchester which seems to have become vapourware. With Amodel, you have to wait until the model is actually on the shelf 
In the meantime OzMods does a nice little resin 'Bou. I should get off my duff and review it.
