Interesting. So it's going to be released as a Special Hobby kit. Wasn't this originally going to be Classic Airframes' last release before the hiatus?

Hi Eetu,

I think it was planned from the beginning to be a Classic Airframes and Special Hobby collaboration. Both have announced the release of the kit at one point. However, since Classic Airframes is currently "no longer active", this won't be the planned cooperation anymore I guess...

Hi guys

there were just some posts on HS: Classic Airframes is just pausing until things get a bit better for business again.The model is still a collaboration. 3 companies involved MPM group doing the model; 3 editions CA (with japanese markings), Italian Kit (or Flying Machines or whatever the name of the brand is) and MPM. Forgot which will bring out the SCW markings ...

just my 2ct

all the best

Hi there

Wow! Whatever label it appears under, I want one!

(I know - I keep saying I'm going to try not to buy more kits for a while, but a subject like this is just too good to miss! It can be my Christmas present to me! )

All the best
