Pacific has given me the final verdict.

sheets are old stock. Thanks in advance!

I saw Lindberg's New Releases catalog on their website and it looks like they took over the
Testors plastic and diecast molds, including the old Hawk and IMC stuff.  Don't know how much of
it will be re-issued, but I wouldn't be surprised if Lindberg got some of the more popular
