Hi guys

I've got some bad news today. I tried to order Tamiya's Matilda MKII from Squadron, and was told that the kit has been discontinued. Now I don't know if they ment discontinued just from Squadron or from Tamiya. Can anyone shine some light on this for me ? I just picked up a real good reference book on the Matilda, and was looking forward to building one.
As aways, Thanks in advance

Many of Tamiya's kits go in and out of production throughout the years. It was probably discontinued by Tamiya and may reappear in the next 5-10 years. eBay or swap meets are your best bet.
