Aoshima Releases for May '09 - Sailing ships

I'm obviously not a hundred percent sure, but I'd be willing to bet they're reissues of the grand old Imai kits.  The Cutty Sark has already appeared under the Aoshima label at least once; I think the Susquehanna has too, but I'm not sure.

If they are in fact old Imai kits they are (unless Aoshima has messed them up somehow) excellent products.  I've said for years that the Imai Cutty Sark is the best rendition of that beautiful ship in kit form - plastic, wood or otherwise.  (Caveat:  I haven't seen the new Academy version - but I think that one may also be a reissue of the Imai one.)
