The kit also includes a selection of (tiny) in-scale 1/1000 fighters to place on the flight deck.

This kit went on pre-order in September 2025 and then immediately went backorder as it was so popular. I managed to get one from a reseller on https://Mercari.com through the proxy site https://buyee.jp in early October 2025. I think the lesson is with these kits; get them as soon as they become available, as they don't seem to reprint/restock them very often - if at all.
