Here is the boxart and some computer generated images that have been mentioned. Just going on the computer images and boxart everything is looking pretty good so far. Hopefully this kit will be released sooner rather than later.

Cheers,
Mike

I bought half dozen Mk3 without knowing much way back. Yes, that's how much I like it before I was told the whole damn thing is not accurate.

Now, I will wait for reviews before buying this Mk4.

It looks good so far. I just hope they will represent the anti-slip coat properly.

John, the latest I've heard is that the kits release has been delayed 'til early 2009. Hopefully this will turn out to be the case.

HI

I agree with the sentiments around here. After the debacle of their Mk 3, I HOPE they do the 4 properly and I too will wait for the reviews.
