I think I have heard or read rumours that Eduard would also come with a P-51 in quarter scale..
Is it true or have I just dreamed.....
Anyone having more details.... :hmm:

Vladimir Sulc wrote in the Editorial of their actual Info Sheet about the status of the project and of what's to expect in 2019:

(...) but I am sure that we can agree on the fact that the most significant news will come with a discussion regarding the 48th scale Mustang. This project is progressing quickly forwards and I expect the first test shots to be available in the spring.
This project holds one interesting secret, and that is that the development of this kit makes use of every technological innovation we have been able to integrate into what we do. This is sure to have a very positive impact on the model and I am very hopeful that it will become one of our favorite pieces. True, experience suggests that the first wave of such a release is met with some trepidation, and I expect that much of this will focus on the surface texture of the wings. This is a point of discussion even today, and among the favorite topics of discussion related to the Mustang concerns riveting. Our response to this is that the kit will have no rivets on the puttied surfaces of the wings, while the remainder of the airframe will be riveted. The panel lines, however, will be represented, because representing them would be consistent with photographic evidence. And if anyone has other ideas, they are always free to putty up the panel lines as well. Other items of discussion might be the canopy, propeller, weapons and other alternative parts . There will be three canopies included in the kit. The same goes for the propeller, and radio equipment variations. An interesting item is the dust cover within the tailwheel well. These were always a little different from aircraft to aircraft and I am leaning towards leaving these out completely, and adding these at the modeler level should pose no issues for anyone. The kit includes items for the Mustang Mk.IV, and we also have ready the recce version which has its own fuselage. These sub-variants will be released through the course of next year outside of being included in a Royal Class package. Weapons will be concentrated on one theme related sprue that will include drop tanks, bombs, rockets and bazooka tubes, among other payload hardware. The marking options selection process is still ongoing but will be consistent with our past patterns, meaning that there will be a nice mix of famous
and not so famous aircraft. Naturally we will release a slew of aftermarket accessories for it, in brass and especially within the Brassin line, including things such as the engine and its installation. Sets will cover details such as wheels with detail differences, exhausts, bronze landing gear struts, the aforementioned engine, the cockpit, and the collections of these in the BigSin line.

Ahhh, Mustang. Any discussion of a P-51 is good. It’s good to address the issue of puttied wing sections. I am sure these fellas will do well. I just hope Eduard will capture a bit more of the soul of the bird then other more recent 1:48 designs. I just... don’t feel computer scans ought to be used to create a general impression... or relied upon to create a mash up of proportions. It’s just a feeling...

Yeah, just one repop of an old kit is a bit lame. On the other hand the production of big molds is very expensive. They stay with what they know the best and I can understand that.
