Yup ;-)

Fine Molds, a small but high end model company from Japan will be
producing
a Jedi Starfighter (including hyperspace booster) in 1/72 scale.  Due
out in
July, you will have to get it from Hobbylink Japan.  No word of anything
else though.

For the latest sci-fi model news, the Starship Modeler website can not
be
beat (http://www.starshipmodeler.com)

Also in their news section, they just mentioned a small garage kit
company
is going to be producing a 12" Moya from Farscape.....interesting.
