What do we do with this kind of kits?
Much has beed said about the relation of Academy toolings with other brands (this and the Frog one, the MiG-23 and F-104 to Hasegawa, P-39 and Tempest to Heller...), but it is more a matter of copying than retooling; you can't mix those tools without major or minor surgery.
Should we establish that relationship as 'based on ..' or we consider it 'new tool'?

I propose a new origin entry 're-tool' to go along with 'rebox' including reference to the new tool it is based on.

We shouldn't bother whether we have a case of legal re-tooling or a not so legal copying. If we'd do, it would pose a legal risk to Tim as the owner of the site.

That's right. This is one of this cases. It was said this was a copy, but not a 're-tool' as the company hadn't access to the original tool and the parts layout is quite different.
The matter with the F4F is much more obvious and maybe the origin of these believings, it has even the same support stand!
Maybe we should had an entry of 'It is said is a re-tool based on...'
But I think we shouldn't mention it anyway.

How about 're-engineered' then? Sounds like a nice euphemism to me :-D

for me it is a "new tool".... adding the other one will make it more complex... there is currently already a mixing up of "rebox" and "new tool"...
