I just received an E-Mail from a Mr. Ed Sexton of MRC/Academy. He gave me an update to the release of their version of the Ontos. I will be announced this month and go into production in March, to be availible in June. He is going to give me an update as to the price asap. [email protected]
He also sent me an attachment with the newly finished model. If I can figure out how to add it to a post I will. Or email me and I will forward it to you.


I posted the picture in my photos on Armorama, It has a lot more detail then any I've seen before.

Hi Christopher

The photo in the album is just a red X I'm afraid.

Droped you an e-mail.


BTW: Funny about the release date set to the summer. Academy just posted on their Korean site the news for the 1st quarter. But perhaps that is what's going into production during the period.

That looks good. One more for the stash. Or maybe it should go to the head of the line.
