Sure looks like the old 21st Century molds, even down to the incorrect cable cutter introduced in the 80's by Bristol of Canada.

Hobby Boss seems to have gotten several molds from the old 21st Century 1/18 planes. Their 1/18 kit of the Me 262 has been found to be the the same pieces as a disassembled 21st C. kit by one person who bought it. Will likely see more coming out if these get any traction.

What kind of pricing are they putting on these kits? I didn’t see any on the website.

The only preorder I've found is priced in Maylasian Ringgits!! Comes to about 55USD.

Take with a grain of salt, but the site below indicates other sellers (all of them also overseas) asking a higher price than that... I'll be pleasantly surprised if they're generally running below $60...

(see bottom of page, wonder how often this site updates its info)

Scalemates! Only recently discovered them. I need to keep them in mind more often.
Funny though, it describe this as 2020 initial release new tooling!!! I'm assuming they mean as a kit.
