Does anyone have any info on a kit for the ONTOS? It was in the 2nd At Bn. I was a mechanic on it and would like to build one if it exists.

The only model of the Ontos that I know of is a resin kit by Nimix:

Hobby Fan (the parent company of AFV Club) makes a resin/metal kit of the Ontos. I bought mine from Lucky Models.

Do you have any idea where I can get that info about the future release? I am really interested in making it and can wait for awhile, as long as it is soon.
