Has anyboy had a look at the new Revell 1/72 EE Lightning? Is it a reissue of the old Frog/Hasegawa kit or the old Matchbox? The price of £ 9.99 at Hannants to me indicates that it probably isn't the old Matchbox kit, since reissues of these old kits usually are a lot cheaper. Besides that kit could also be built as a two-seater. I certainly hope that it is a new tooling since a new up to date kit of this aicraft is very much needed! I've got a ton of decals waiting for a new decent 1/72 Lightning. At least Xtrakit (MPM) has announced the realese of a new kit for the Mk.3 so I will be able to use up some of them.
