Seen over on The Modeling News, a glimpse of the A-12 Avenger II at the Shizuoka Hobby Show:

They may be the only 3 kits produced so far, but it just makes me want a couple of the them even more!

So close, yet so far away.  Just like the state of my internet service. 
May release?  May is half gone and still no definitive availability date.

 Looking at the card next to the model in the show phot, it looks like the release date will be sometime in September.

This is probably the most egregious kit I've ever seen, they just re-boxed their E-50/75 Jadgpanzer kit with Japanese decals and called it the Ho-Ri II. The Ho-Ri II was a real design that only superficially looks like the E-50/75 Jadgpanzer tho. Amusing Hobby have released a proper kit of the Ho-Ri, so I dont see any point in this kit existing other thing to trick people into a quick cash grab.

Missed naming opportunity.  Should have been named "No Ho."
