Yeah i thought that too..
For me, i'd build everything model slipway simply because i love their kits, but i have a thing about building any other scale other than 1:12th or 1:24th. I enjoyed modifying my tug with fibre optics and interiors and this model seems the perfect choice..
If we pester them enough with enough people wanting a kit, they might do a small run of styrene printing etc..
