I understand there was a reference in one of the latest MMiRs to a plastic 1/35 kit of the Commando V-100, even with an interior! I have the Verlinden all-resin kit which filled the void in my collection, but obviously all the hatched are closed. Any photo I have of the Commando in operation has every hatch open, as the environment was usually hot and humid!

Any product news regarding this one?

I believe, the reference was to a Hobby Fan kit, which is in resin. The kit does have a full interior, but is actually a V-150, not a V-100, as used in Vietnam. I have two of the kits, and am going to attempt to backdate one of them to a V-100.

Salt6,
I referenced the Verlinden in the original post. I've had that one for about 12 years now. Thanks anyhoo!
