From what I can tell, the "new" Kate, (the B5N1) is a re-issue of there another one of their new kits, the B5N2. However, from what i've seen online, the B5N1 has an additional/different sprue containing the different engine cowling, along with a couple of other small changes. And, of course, a new decal sheet.

New. Quite nice too. Panel lines are a bit too much (typical of their new stuff), otherwise very nice. Ya get the wing fold option too!

I see by the new products section of the March FSM that Airfix has a "new" 1:72 Kate.  Anyone know whether that is really a new mold kit or just a re-issue of an old one?
