Does anybody have some information about this model. I have asked Brandon, but he never answer my questions about this model. Will it ever come for sale?

I'm not surprised that Brandon won't answer your questions Sturla. This project has got to be a major pain in the butt for him. At this point, I'm beginning to wonder if the project will get scrapped all together, or continue on it's way to the consumers.....eventually. I mean, what has it been? About 3 years or more?

Tim, TWH is not working with Brandon on this project, unless there has been a major change in the very recent past. TWH would have been the best way to go, but Brandon took a different route.

I hope everything is able to fall into place for this model to be produced. I would love to get this model!

Have heard some month ago that there is a problem between Hitachi Japan and Hitachi (Euclid) Canada. Which includs the license to Brandon. Pray

little more is always possible

Thanks for the info.
I also heard from Brandon over a year ago that there was some problem with licens (with or without Euclid in the front of the model), but I hoped that this problem was solved now....

From what I have been told, it's not a licensing issue that's holding up the project.

I don't think it has "died" as you put it Joe. Just put on hold. Honestly it would be nice to see TMC take over the production. It always comes down to the licensing issues though which I hope get resolved soon.
