Nice, it looks like there will be some dry fitting to get the upper hull to fit just right, with all those parts and angles, but that's ok with me. Funny, but the tracks look very Bronco-esque.

Pre - dented fuel tank?? Maybe just the light and angle the pic was taken from.

Flat pack hull, not a bath tub...... I can hear the complaints building already

Looks like the wait may be worth it.

The flat pack Hull is better for building the interior than a tub.

Their website lists MMD/Squadron as the distributor here but no mention of it on the Squadron site that I could find. Get the feeling these are going to be hard to come by.
