I just received my Italeri newsletter this morning and they have officially released the kit. You can buy it directly from their web site for 108 Euros which is $137.20. Their site says this includes shipping which if true makes that a pretty good deal. It should be in the US in another 30 days or so, just in time for the holidays.

Italeri is shipping something to me and as soon as I get it I will share it with you. Not 100% sure what they sent yet.

At $137.20 US including shipping that is a super deal. I hope to get one next month. Guess I need to get either the Dragon M-16 Halftrack with the Maxon turret or the stand alone dragon kit of the turret itself.

Cheers

Dave's post quoted 198 Euros and $137.20 US. Which is what I was replying to.

Cheers

Let's start over... buying from Italeri...

EUR 108.00
USD 137.30

Keep in mind that credit card companies may charge a currency exchange fee.

There are benefits from buying from a US Distributor like Freetime Hobbies. They'll stand behind the product and support you if you have a problem. English is their primary language. Is that worth $10? You decide.

By the way, that Dragon Maxon quad .50 gun is a very rare kit right now. My friend Jerry just bought one of the last ones on ebay. The Griffon details sets are everywhere. I'm only seeing two on ebay. One in China and the other in Australia.

My local hobby shop has it listed as being in stock. I guess I'd better grab it whilst it's still available.

Just called the local hobby and toy store and they do have one. It is now set aside for me.

Thanks for letting me know hay it's out of production since that save me the extra $25.00 I'd have to have paid for the Dragon M -16 halftrack with that turret.

Cheers
