Lovely, really looking forward to this release. It should look good alongside the Tamiya F.1.

Me too, so much I have pre-ordered mine off the Airfix site, and got a discount for being a Airfix Club Member.

Hi Andy

Thanks for the update. It looks very tasty indeed!

I'll be ordering this and the 1:48 Defiant at my LHS (more of a toy shop, really) - I try to support them where I can.

All the best

Is it just me or does this look a superior model to tamiya's?

Hi Fred

It's a different version to Tamiya's, so "complementary" might be a better term. Of course, as the saying goes, there's many a slip twixt cup and lip - and we haven't got the kit in our hands yet...

All the best
