This kit is due Mid November 2024 (small batch to cover some orders arrived last week of August) and is open for pre-order now. Limited numbers may come in the first batch - pre-ordering is recommended to improve your chance. Note: When you pre-order, you do not pay until release (unless you want to) but you must supply a valid card during checkout so that we can charge you when the model arrives.
As with all Kyosho kits, supply cannot be guaranteed as deliveries are often cut short by the manufacturer due to worldwide demand, please use the PRE-ORDER payment system with your credit or debit card, rather than paying by Paypal or Credit Card (Pay Now) options for this.
