Vermillion Squadron had been around for quite a bit in 1/60 from Yamato...now we have it in HMR in 1/100-ish...and if you can deal with the deficiencies, you can have it from KC in 1/72....we'll probably get the DX Kakizaki TV-1A eventually....if anyone is in it for the short run, you'll likely get frustrated....for everyone else....it's just a waiting game...the way things are being released now seems pretty fast compared to the lean years right before Yamato came onto the scene and right after they went BK...
