Wow, I preordered Takoms Type 69 from Dragon USA in early April. It was to be released in May so I called today to check on my order. They said they sold out and the back order is due in in two months. What a bummer.

Maybe not the bummer you think - they messed up the lower hull, using the regular T55 hull. The Type 69 had a different hull shape than the T55, Takom are updating the kit, and will release the hull separately for those of us that already have the kit.

The kit is fantastic otherwise!
