    What I can say is it's ready for production and will be ready to buy with in about 9 months!! There won't be any long drawn out delays.

    Interesting to see what it will be. Meanwhile it's up to Dapol to get their 08 on the shelves.

    Cheers

    Hi Kimbo,

    I've never received anything as yet unless it's came in the last 8 hours as I've not checked my emails this morning yet.

    I may not have actually put on an alert with Hattons as I've been watching Tower Models for info.

    November /December would be fine ...... Give my pocket a chance to recover. :avatar:

    Cheers

    Toto

    I've been saving mine since 27/4/2012 when I placed the order. :facepalm:
    There's a slim chance this new Minerva model will be here before the 08 the way things are going.:avatar:
