Not yet, most likely, they will post an update on their facebook page (linked above) when it is about to be released.

So far, other kits are released first, the (edit: MD!) airliner and the US civil war mortar.

How do you link to a specific FB post??

I do it by posting the image as a LINKY so you can go to the post by clicking the word where is says this is part of a post. Favouriting the page on your browser is much easier than trying to use FB's attempts.

Ah thank you!!

In the meantime; it is confirmed that there will be three separate boxings:
S.6
S.6A

S.6B

So the original 1929 version and the two 1931 versions of the 1931 walkover and the record plane.

Just as an FYI: there was some confusion with the kit numbers and box labeling, as both the S.6 and S.6A are to use the same box art, with different labels for kit number and kit type.  I have confirmed with Sergey at AMP that the S.6A is kit number 48026 (now released), and S.6 is to come later as kit number 48025, and will have new parts included for the correct size and style floats for an S.6

This piqued my interest, I have the S.6B in my stash, and the S.6A on backorder.

A bit of internet searching and I found this:

www.baesystems.com/en-uk/heritage/supermarine-s6a-and-s6b

An interesting read, basically the S.6 was upgraded to S.6B and re-designated S.6A

It looks like AMP 48026 contains the same plastic and decals as the earlier S.6B.

I had assumed (incorrectly) that the new 48026 was an S.6.

Awaiting the S.6 kit with anticipation
