I was about to buy the old SKIF kit the other night but I am willing to wait just a little longer to get a much better kit.

Several months ago, early pics of this kit were shown on this site. It included full interior detail, engine compartment etc. As Frenchy states above, the pics of the sprues seems to confirm that all this is included in the production kit. This will be sweet.

Their Facebook page says it was released in december, so I guess we should wait a couple of months until it is available at least at the well known web-based stores.
By the way, they announced yet another Terminator in 1/35, to be released in February...
