oooh, tha'd be a huge seller if it was. Only other offerings are the old (but good!) Revelgram kits. Pretty sure those moulds are almost as old as my parents!

First time I gear this. There is too much rumour out there...

Maybe it is easier for HK to scale down their B-17, just like ZM did with their Shinden.

I think what he's referring to is how it might be easier for HK to scale the moulds down to create a 1/48 B-17, much as ZM did with the 1/32 Shinden. They basically scaled the moulds down to create a 1/48 version.
Or I'm misunderstanding the whole conversation, and am completely off my rocker, as usual.....

I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but, i'm not sure you realize what you heard is not what I meant. so there.
