Am I right, is this a complete retool and not a repop of an earlier kit? Cheers Si

Si, I have found nothing supporting "new tooling" or not yet. Tough to say one way or the other until someone who is intimate with the first pop looks at this one!

I am inclined to think it is totally new. They are doing more than one of these

I still have most of a partially constructed Pola. I don't know how much the old Pola and Zara had in common. But the sprues here look nothing like the sprues in Pola's box.
