Oh, interesting!

A C-model Rafale!

I guess Revell/ ACE plastic :)

 either the recent international sales success I foresee quite a success for it :)

just Korea went for the F-15K back in the day... although the Rafale technically won the competition.....

The B-25 and SBD-3 are ex-Accurate Miniatures tooling, the Catalina is Academy , the Zero/Wildcat and A-10 are all new tools. The Rafale is indeed the ACE (Revell )tooling. It's actually already been released as a C by ACE.

Think the two tanks are Academy's own, though the catalogue not that clear, "New Design" for the IV.H/J (presumably based on their recent-ish tooling) and "new parts" for the Jagdpanther.

There’s also a 1/700 USS Yorktown CV-5 coming as part of the Midway anniversary themed kits. I presume this is a modification of their USS Enterprise kit.

Finally Frequent Wind CH-53 markings. My long wait is over!

Assume that is the Fujimi plastic, as it mentions two pilot figures included, and the Italeri kits don't have figures? Also KA-Models logo on box is tied up with Fujimi. If so its good the kit is available again.
