The first picture in this thread in Japanese said that they will release a new “plastic" mold of C-1. Up to now, Platz still have not released it.

 

All the box in selling is still the old resin mold, first released 14 years ago.

 

I am still waiting for the injection plastic one, but Platz are always working slowly on new mold.....

This one would be absolutely lovely in 1/72-along with the C-2!

The card says August release but it's already September while they plan to release another C-1 decal variant in December.

Safe to say it's been delayed but what if it got cancelled? Perhaps we'll find out in the All Japan Model and Hobby Show next month.
