Oh yes, I want one.

A unique subject that is much missed by the science community.

Not sure I like the £TBA price, but it's an interesting 'aeroplane'.

I've got one already though, in a paired kit with an X-24 by Mach 2.

[Later] Actually it turns out the M2-F2 I have is by Eagles Talon, but I have an early and late X-24 by Mach 2.

Looks nice, but that two piece belly attaching to a one piece top could be problematic. Alignment will be critical, even with the bulkeads

Will they have a figure with it, bench-pressing an engine block? Curious minds* want to know.

*or slightly silly ones...

The general impression I get with AMP kits is they need a lot of persuasion/bludgeoning to fit.  It'll probably be a lot of work for a small kit.

Is it that one?
I was wondering.

I'm sure we have the technology...

Or failing that, whack it with the engine block to force it to fit...

Drops off the pylon in the HL-10 which magically turns into the M2-F2 when it crashes.

Of course! In true HollyWeird tradition...
