At last!

Hurrah!

So wish someone would do a new one in 1/48! It's small enough in that scale let alone in 72!

Yeeeeeeeesssss!

I'm not up on the tech stuff, but does 'injected' suggest it will be plastic kit, as resin is usually cast?

 

Would be great in 48th as well, hopefully if this one is a strong seller, you never know.

Resin can't be injected, it can however be rotocast which gives a similar quality finish - therefore it will be a styrene model if it is injected.

 

This should be a quarter scale at the least if not 32nd.

Therefore and considering I'm not interested in a 1/72nd Wasp may I suggest S&M to concentrate (with the help of Mikromir designers) on the 1/48th scale kit...

Dave Lochead of Kiwi has started injection-moulding, hence the name change (he's released several Harvard and Texan conversion kits with injected parts in the past few months). Great news but I've no idea how far away this kit is.
