This is posted on the UK forum reference the Model Hangar II forum.

"Hey Guys,
I just got off the phone with Gavin (admin) and he said that there was a problem with
the domain change that took effect today, but it has been sorted and the forum *should
be* back up late tonight or in the morning.

*(Going off information from the ISP is only speculative and should be taken with a
grain of salt. The last time there was a ISP problem, the forum was offline for what, 3
weeks? Luckily, this is not the same type of problem so HOPEFULLY, it will be back up
as stated. I am not responsible if this doesn't happen)"

Hobby Master has just released photos of the RF-104G ROCAF "STARGAZER" 1983
TO 1986 that has been produced exclusively for a customer in Taiwan. The owner has
agreed to provide some models to distributors in the U.S. UK and Japan. These models
will ship late November 2009. The number available outside Taiwan is EXTREMELY
LOW and I mean EXTREMELY. If you manage to get one without having to contact the
customer in Taiwan then you can consider yourself having won the lottery.
                                HA1014  
These are the retailers in the U.S. that will be the few that will get
some. They are listed in no particular order.
Pete’s Collectibles, The Flying Mule, Aiken’s Airplanes, Bad Cat Toys
Diecast Direct, Pilot Wear
