If you read to the end of the page you linked to it says the release is in May.

It does look good but I wonder if it will sell in this country - more demand in the USA perhaps?

I think that looks ace. I wonder if they've considered re-tooling the Spit?

I’m looking forwards to it being released. It looks like a great kit. Not too expensive either and if it’s anything like the mossie or the typhoon it will end up cheaper still.

yes its on track for May

24th scale stuff does sell very well in the USA hence an American subject to capitalise on that market. Still got the FAA scheme in there for UK modellers though

US houses generally have more space to display really big stuff, for example, I had loads of Lego on display in my house when I lived there, but I don't have anywhere near the room here, especially for the USC Falcon and UCS Star Destroyer. I know they're not models, but space is the biggest problem in the UK I imagine.

Yes space is certainly an issue for bigger models- the Hellcat has the wing fold option
