It's always nice to see a good Ecuriel. I wonder whether Revell will issue a 1/32 kit of this one, and also why there doesn't seem to be a 1/72 kit either.

Is the Heller kit generally available?

It seems to be unavailable right now. Perhaps they're out of stock

Very attractive build and scheme. I like how "clean" the build is at the same time it gives off a weathered appearance.
