You can bet this isn't the whole story(!) - Hasegawa (in particular) have only announced kits for the first half of the year - but here's an idea of what to look out for in 1/48 scale during 2007. There are a number of joint-ventures between manufacturers and some of the kits are already available, some will probably apppear next year and some may never see the light of day...
