Default RE: Progression of MK Kits

Skymaster immediately follows the Magic (I can't believe I forgot that one...)
The Blue Angel VR is actually the Blue Angel VR-7. It was succeeded by the Blue Angel Super VR-7.
MK also kitted a few scale models (including the Spirit of ST Louis and several Japanese fighters).
MK also kitted the Magic in a fiberglass fuselage version, though I don't believe it was ever imported into the USA.
FK produced several glass/foam knock-offs of MK kits (including the Arrow, Curare and Blue Angel - they used other names as they were unauthorized)
Quality Line produced 'authorized' kits of the Arrow, Curare and Magic as well as their modified verions: the Super Arrow (a stretched version of the Arrow) and Super Curare.
Wolfgang Matt designed a successor to the Arrow called the Granat which was a slightly larger version of the Arrow (maybe some other subtle modifications), but the radical change to Aresti style aerobatics resulted in the Joker.
The Aurora was also kitted (as a knock-off) by Larry Phillips who called it the PA-II - it was a VERY popular glass/foam kit.
Anybody know if MK is going to produce kits again?????
