im hoping for the 1:48 cobras,  i could use them for my Project Gate  1:48 force,  being able to get some of the special schemes with the pilots on them would be ace as well ( either as releases or aftermarket decals)

They should revert to the 70's/80's box designs with the painted box art and creative fonts.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Masterpieces of box art, and not just of that time, even of today.

Trip down memory lane seeing all those old boxtops !

Many of the Hasegawa 1/72nd kits are still available in their "basic" version with the
boxtop paintings. They're also inexpensive, which is probably why they don't get imported by the big distributors.

i had a look at the 1:48 scale stuff on that link,  things like the crew figure and weapon sets are peanuts 
and most of the planes are in the 15-20 quid range ( if ive got my maths right)

Some of those prices are O T T, especially the Lancaster, Ju-87 and, Ju-88 which would be the only ones of interest

At a rough estimate, by the time you've ordered that from Japan, paid the shipping and paid the VAT (which they can't do at their end yet), that'll cost you at least £12.58. Given the delay and the hassle with Customs & Excise demanding the VAT before they release it, I'd gladly pay the extra £3 to make all that go away.

The point is, they reflect the relative prices being charged in Japan, plus shipping and tax, whereas for a long time, the UK importer just marked them all up hugely as if they were all "premium" kits.

As a mater of interest the Hasegawa 1/72 Jaguar T Mk 2 DERA is currently going for £39.99 on the Big H site.
