Any chance for 1/72 edition of USAF "S.E.A. Camo" A-10C & F-16C set?

Polish wholesale company Hobby 2000 have just released their first 1/32 scale model kits: 32001 Spitfire IA (Revell plastic parts + Cartograf-printed decals + PMask masks + resin oil cooler) 32002 Spitfire IIA w/Rotol Propeller (Revell plastic parts + Cartograf-printed decals + PMask masks + resin oil cooler and Rotol prop) 32003 Spitfire VA (Revell plastic parts + Cartograf-printed decals + PMask masks) Parts layout and an illustration of some tweaks that have to be applied to the Revell engine cowling (the template for the shape of the external

Here you go, kit #72047 is now available:

I doubt this will happen but at least Dragon kits will be back later this year.

It appears that the ultimate Emil in 1/48 scale has hit the market: https://www.kfs-miniatures.com/1-48-bf-109e-1-wingsy-kits/
