I can't speak about the specifics of the Revell/Matchbox Flower kit in 1/72 but I can give you some general information. It's very common for a company in one country (Matchbox) to license the distribution of a kit to a company in another (Revell). It's like renting someone else's distribution resources. When I worked as a hobby shop manager the biggest example of this was the deal between Tamiya and MRC. It's really a win/win deal for both companies. In many cases the buyer profits too through lower prices and increased availability. I hope this helps. David Bingham dbingham@hp-vcd.vcd.hp.com
