I only sent it yesterday Carl, after reading that link Nils had posted in the Italeri thread on the What-If Forum.

It's a bit odd though, in my up-close pics I took of the F-35B, they don't reveal the RAM lines quite like that pic you posted.

The light seems to change the depth.

I guess that's why they are available as a decal vs made via kit mold.

Italeri has put up its Preview 2020: https://www.italeri.com/uploads/news/b9oyS352gqHmhEzkjSqwDK80IVvs09sLuqzoPqmR.pdf

For the third(fourth?) year in a row the 1/48 Agusta-Bell JetRanger repop is there, blatantly plastered all over page 8:
Italeri Preview 2020 pg8 by Zac Yates, on Flickr

Still waiting - progressively less patiently - for it to actually appear...

It would be nice if they used that as a start to produce a kit of the Bell Model 407 which could then be used as a basis for a model of the MQ-8C.  Still, I'd settle for a Model 206 for now (if/when it comes out, wonder how long 'til a conversion for a 206LR shows up?)

It's likely the ESCI mould, which according to Scalemates has been around since 1980. Given that Fujimi and Heller have also released 1/48(/50) kits of the type over the years I'm surprised no-one's done any conversion sets. Actually, I take that back: I've just found this 206L-1 set by Top Gun Models on Scalemates. I've asked for availability info on Top Gun's Facebook page.

Although my (first?  ;)) copy of the JetRanger kit will need custom decals, it's encouraging to see the label for a Super Decal sheet on the catalogue listing. The thing that I really, really wish and hope they fix is the height of the rotor mast. As seen in this gorgeous build, it's too short and makes the machine look weird.

I forgot about this but I did get a reply from them. They said the very heavy raised panel edges were so that people could paint them easier  ???

Per my post yesterday about the Scalemates listing for a 1/48 LongRanger conversion, 10min ago they replied to me:

I emailed Italeri to ask on behalf of JetRanger fans everywhere about a release date for the 1/48 reissue and have just received a response:

Lockheed TR-1A/B [U-2S/TU-2S] SUPER DECALS SHEET FOR 4 VERSIONS - COLOR INSTRUCTIONS SHEET

Note: The sprues have been updated to include the trainer version bits. That is the second cockpit. The kit has always had the provision for it.
