Was just looking around upcoming releases on HLJ, and found an interesting release from Italeri. The release was set to december.

Some early information from people who saw Italeri demo model on shows, suggests that it won't be all that great. If you know Italeri kit, you know it has inaccurately molded engine compartment walls and new resin engine parts wil be designed to fit this space, what obviously will make them inaccurate as well. All other interior parts are supposeddly also simplified and inaccurate, but I believe we need to wait for the kit to be released to find out more, particularly that what was shown before may not be the same what will actually be released.

The interior was copied from the DML kit and the engine is the kirin one. These are both extrememly innacurate and therefore not worth the time or effort in my opinion. However you have to keep in mind you are hearing this from someone who changed his screen name to Bro Abrams so you might take it with a grain of salt. I tend to be a little to picky about Abrams stuff.

Mr. McCune,

Did you used to be the MG for K/2-16? Your name sounded familiar to me.

At them prices, I'd think they could make it accurate.
