Love that moody box art! I'm guessing this is the work of Kōtare's usual guy, Darryl Legg (although it hasn't show up on his website yet).

If you get in early on the pre-orders there are two of his pieces included with the kit, this and the "official" box art (this is, apparently, just a teaser piece).

I'm saving very hard, already!  ;)

For the Canucks and others, a very famous Canadian actor, Robert Clothier, flew Halifax's with 408 SQN.

Oh, please tell me that Bob's Hallibag was named 'Taffy'!!

OT but Bob Clothier was also an enthusiastic painter who used to exhibit his work at galleries back in Gibsons Landing ('Home of The Beachcombers"). I had always assumed that he was a talented amateur but, it turns out, he worked as a commercial artist while living in Britain. Who knew?
