I have wanted one of these in 1/32 for years! Ever since I saw the movie "Murphy's War" years ago starring Peter O'Toole.
In that movie he repairs a Grumman Duck aircraft so that he can sink a German U-boat that sank his ship where he was the only survivor. He even had to teach himself how to fly the aircraft once he had it repaired.

I went to HPH the other night looking to download the instruction sheet for the Me410 kit that they have. (Yes I have one of those as well) While they have links to said instructions, and you used to be able to download the manuals, those links are dead and you can't download their manuals anymore.
However I did notice that they have a new kit that I knew that they were working on (not the HUGE Gigant kit)
It is the BV138. I believe it also had the nickname of "The Flying Clog"
It has the hefty price of 558 Euros or about $605 US.
On interesting tid bit of information I found out about this aircraft quite a while back is that the engines are diesel, which are not the most powerful powerplants available.
Quite a while back they showed that they were in the beginning stages of doing the Savoyia Marchetti SM79 tri motor. THAT ONE is the one I am waiting for.

Thanks Rich, I had already pulled the info off the kit CD that I had, just didn't feel like digging through the kit box, but in the end I just did it anyway.
