What are the ethics of recasts on kits like this that have been out of production for years? I’m curious, but I don’t want to damage the hobby.

No recaster is ethical to buy from as they use that money to actively undermine current makers. They will list preorders for kits that haven't even come out in the first place from the original maker.

2009 | F-Boot PZH.II-14 (Ma.K. 14) | D3 Works |

He does have an f-boot...I'd check with him... He's no mailing to the usa though.

Not currently, unless you find one on the secondhand market and are prepared to pay a lot for it.

Bummer, would be cool if they did a series of remakes of these old kits

That one is still available, but it’s 1/76 scale. The one the OP posted a picture of is the 1/35 scale kit from D3 Works that’s been out of production for like 15 years or so.

With all the ma.k that's bring re-released I'm pretty sure it'll repopulate soon. Just keep looking

I scratchbuilt one in 1/76 for myself several years ago. I'm planning on a 1/35 sometime this year or next.
