Neat! I'm assuming the Sword kits are way better than my old Airfix F-80C.

Is 1/72 going to be it for Sword? I hope they move forward and release at the very least some new 1/48 kit's.

This is a re-issue. Sword did a line up of P/F-80 A/B/C back in 2010. And has the Airfix F-80 been in release since the turn if the 21st Century?
