This kit is not being re-tooled but I do know that it has been pulled from the shelves here in the U.S because of all the complaints about it from our so-called model experts who seem to have a problem with Trumpeter in general. Me? I have no problem with Trumpeter at all! I thank them for putting out a very good 1/24th scale P-51D Mustang. For years I had to deal with the 1/24th Airfix Mustang which is nothing but a pile of junk in my book. I salute and stand behind Trumpeter and wish them well in the hobby industrie, I know they will do very well. But whether the Wildat is avalible anywhere else that I dont know but here in the U.S its not to be found thanks to the "rivet counters".
