The thing is the 201 is made, the more liveries it's released in the more it sells and the more profit is made from the model overall.
Interesting about Cravens 1509, I'm assuming a different factory will be making this Cravens so seeing how it stacks up against one of the finest ever RTR 00 scale models ever released will tell a tail.
Again with the new Mk2s, they are not going to be just repaints, reading between the lines it could well be new tooling with a new mold fixing the window height. One can hope anyway.
