It would make a fine project. To bad "Limited Addition with Limited Availability" might translate into lots of cash.

would be nice if they gave you spare "tails" to display all the art options.
Also, to me it looks like the display the inlet cones retracted, hope there is some detail in there.

Well HobbyLink Japan has it advertised as a June release and it's priced at $18.98. For that price, I might order 13 - one for each decal option.

Interesting...I wonder if its a complete new tool kit or a rebox of old Hasegawa kit?
