Saw this at HE website
Any info or news about this release?? Is it a new kit or a rebox of other producer?

Tamiya's track record suggests very strongly to me, at least, that this is a re-hash of the Italeri/Revell-Germany kit with some new parts.

No need to go into the likely new and expanded retail price!

Looking at the reference number, I guess it is just the Italeri kit sold under theTamiya label. Of course, I could be wrong. Time will tell...

Did not recall that previous topic...
That's what I was afraid of, a simple rebox of an old and tough kit
