UPDATE Thanks LanceB : Curtiss SBC-3/-4 Helldiver

Vespa Model Kits is working on 1/72nd and 1/48th resin kits from an aircraft type I'm unable to identify. Any guess as I confess that it's a aircraft from a period of aviation I've no interest at all.

Replacement for old (but nice) Heller kit🤩

Resin or plastic kit? Vespa Model Kits, never heard of them. New player?

A new player, they have just relased two superb quality WW2 tank kits in 1/72 scale; a British Comet and German Maus., both comeptively priced. I'd be very optomistic that their SBC will be superb too. See:

The company that announced the Helldiver is Vespa Model Kits, apparently from Lima, Peru. 
Vespid Models is from Shanghai, China.
Two different entities.

If this is in resin, it won't completely replace the CA kits. I'm not a huge fan of the resin medium.

 

Of course, the quality and availability throw more into the equation, but I already own both of the CA versions and I am hesitant to immediately pitch them.
