Yeah, that is sad. It wouldn't even have taken a ton of work to see what was going on: Revell makes about 5 kits in 1/25th scale (At the time I believe they had only released the Integra, but the Civics were announced), and Tamiya, Fujimi, Hasegawa, and Aoshima make a couple hundred kits in 1/24th scale.
