According to Merit's site they do have a new tooling being offered by Witty Wings that is due out in December. I wonder if this is what they were referring to. I certainly hope not.

Yeah, I agree its definitely not 1:18 in scale that's for sure but rather maybe 1:32 instead. Looks identical to the one Banana Hobby currently sells but the vender showing it off is KMP (Kondor Model Products). http://www.kmp.ca/index.php?osCsid=0a24be3dc2241e7884f83c24abb4b42d If you look at...

I'm sure we haven't seen the last of these. After all the companies/producers behind these scale models are still in business and probably still have the molds to work with later if they feel up to re-releasing more in the future.
