Looks like the Subs were worth the wait.

Is Third & Townsend Models the exclusive dealer?

Im not sure if Third and Townsend models is the exlusive distributor, but I havent seen them in stock with any online hobby shops.

The new 3rd & T Harrimans are pretty nice. I got a Sub for my Del Monte and a “Lines” Lounge for my Pre War Overland. The Lounge is lettered “San Francisco Lounge” which is correct for the era- I’m VERY pleased!
My only criticism would be for the window glazing- it’s a bit heavy handed. I may replace it with simple clear styrene sheet.
