"Must Have" is the brand name?

"Must Have" is the brand name?

Yes it is, from France. They have done two other kits that I know of. The first was the 1/48 Curtiss Mohawk IV, Hobbycraft plastic with added PE, resin and new decals. The second was the 1/48 F-86K, Revell/Monogram F-86D plastic with resin & PE to convert it to a K plus decals. The A-26 will be their first all new kit.

It is because of this history, and the lack of new mold acknowledgement on the Aviation Megastore's web site, that I thought this is the Revell/Monogram sprues.

One of the french boards has pics said to be from the CAD models. The kit may also be available in France in the next week or two. The price from shops there is listed at 70 Euros. Time will tell.
