Here's a good news for those who were waiting for it : the set (#057)is "available" from LuckyModel :
http://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?item_no=HF%20057

BUT .... May I add it is listed at $99.99 ! (postage NOT included)
Maybe I should wait for the similar set that should be released by Trakz in a (near?) future....

PS: even with the pre-christmas 10% discount at LuckyModel, the Hobby Fan pill is still hard to swallow....

Just as I expected it to be, rediculously over-priced. I guess HF uses 24k gold for thier pieces now, it is the only explanation. I'll stick to scratchbuilding the interior on mine.

Ouch!!! Gotta agree with Gino here, that's ridiculous, I'll be brushing up on my scratch building skills also.

After seeing Jim Carswell's scratch built interior, I cant imagibe its that hard. A lot of plasti card and spares. $99.00 is pretty rediculous, but ive come to expect such prices from Hobby Fan, although they do make awsome sets. I cant see Trakz exactly giving us a bargain though.
