Anyone aware of this? I literally just came across it for the first time! 2022 release, new tool. Looks kinda interesting! Anyone have more info?

I saw in the "What Did You Get Today" thread that @niteowl7710 recently received one.

It was mentioned here briefly when we did the show coverage for the Shizouka Hobby Show back in May, as it was announced then. It's been out since the end of May over there. 

It's a nice Supra ?. If you can get it from HobbyEasy or elsewhere in Hong Kong then it's a reasonable kit for $40. If you try to pick it up in Japan or Stateside it runs a lot closer (if not over) $70 which is a bit much for a curbside kit no matter how nice it looks in the box.

Thanks for the reply! Yes, it does seem a little pricey for a curbside kit, but definitely interesting and uncommon subject matter. I really do wish someone would make more recent BMW streetgoing M cars in styrene, because what Alpha model offers in resin is way beyond my hobby designated budget.
