I've probably said this before, I'm no armor guy, but that thing is frickin' cool! I might just have to build one

Yeah, I know, I'm just hoping to keep my credit card "clean" for now. Having said that I'll still probably end up ordering one from somewhere over there. Cheers, Mike

Lucky & Horizon both have it listed as a December release.

Ship to another country need time, so Japan must faster than Amrica.

HLJ also have it listed for December. No problem, I'll give them a few days to update the site. It;s great getting the new here straight from the horse's mouth: thanks Gaoyue. Keep up the good work! Sean.

Interesting - if you look at the stuff in their New Kits section under Trumpeter about the Centauro on PMMS, while the built-up kit pics show a Spanish Centauro, the box art pic (at least, I assume it's a box art pic) shows an Italian vehicle. Strange things are afoot - either that or they're doing both kits in parallel and will just wait a while to unleash the Italian version. Al

Good looking box art, or is it an actual photo?

Only on the image on PMMS. The other box-art images show the Spanish Version. However, and this is where it does look confusing - Terry's image on PMMS shows the Italian Version. As to release date, I got a confirmation that the Centauro will be available in the States from February2009...

Ha, I've just pre-ordered my Trumpeter Spanish Centauro! I can hardly wait to hold it in my hands! Trumpeter sure has come a long way from where they started. Now if someone would cast us some Spanish tank crewmen and stowage for it, that would be great. And how about a set of cavalry pennons for the antennae? Maybe I can print my own.
