Actually, it's more like Hasegawa will probably not go to the expense of
scaling up, since most modelers are happy with the Hobbycraft offerings.
Since the I-16 doesn't have the fanatic following the P-51D has, I doubt
we'll see manufacturers trying to out-do each other, a la the current trend
of a newer better Mustang every 9 months or so.
