Academy did re-release the old Hobbycrap La-7 kit in their box, along with some of their Bf109G kits. I got suckered on one of the Bf109s and was unhappy when I opened the box and immediately recognized the Hobbycraft sprues. I'd be surprised, and it would be a really bad business move, to announce that old turd as a new kit and fool people with it.
