Everything online says that Kittyhawk is back under new ownership and is reissuing kits freetimehobbies.com/..hawk-models-is-back/

Piotr Mikołajski
Ownership of the company is meaningless. Box is exactly the same, catalogue number is exactly the same so this is doubled entry, not new release or reissue with changes.

Martin Oostrom
A reissue doesn't need to have changes. Italeri does this all the time. They just re-released a Daf 95 truck from ages ago. Being from a newer date can matter as mould wear out and such

Piotr Mikołajski
Italeri changes decals, adds or replaces some parts, changes boxarts, catalogue numbers and so on. All of this is described in their newsletter for distributors and we can add such kits as a new release with exact info what was changed.

This particular kit is not an reissue, this is ordinary restock, nothing was changed. Manufacturers can restock their kits even 2-3 times per year if sales are good enough and deliveries are required. Do you plan to add all that noise and make Scalemates useless?
