¹⁄72

Sword have just updated their website so we have found very interesting forthcoming model kits: two boxings of Harrier in a two-seater variant and P-40K/Kittyhawk. All kits will be released in 1:72 scale.

All we know about the kits fo far are the published boxarts supported with painting schemes but we hope to provide some more detailed information soon.
