New TFC Projects?

Hi everyone. On another forum it was mentioned that The Fighter Colllection have some new projects on the go.
These include a TF-51 , a Grumman Bearcat ,(perhaps ex Bob Ponds G-58B) and also their Yak-3 has also gone to Fighter Rebuilders at Chino.Can anyone conferm this at all?

Restoring a P-61 would be quite a feat!! Other TFC progects like the Sea Fury or the Glad.. any news on their progress?

I think TFC have an La 7 – more or less the same as an La 9, I think – just a detail differences.

And less horse power.

CR42 due soon I guess..?

Am phenomenally bad at Russian and Italian aircraft but werent there TWO Russian aircraft in the TFC hangar at one stage- Yak 3, and I think a Yak 9? If so what happened to the latter –

Wouldnt it be spiffing if Stephen Grey were to acquire the LA-9……mmmm

the F8F is “Gulfhawk IV”

Any ideas on the identity of the TF-51? Swiss Mustangs?It seems that Bob Pond has been selling a few of his aircraft recently.
