As do AML, whatever a WGr 21 might be.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

It's a Werfer-Granate 21 otherwise knows as a socking big unguided rocket.

According to the thread on Britmodeller, there are flashed over holes for the stays as well as recce windows on the clear series for future releases.

One of the options has under wing fuel tanks so they could have seen them. I will check when I get home tonight.

Got back from Telford yesterday with the following additions to the stash  ;D  and the cold of all colds  :-\  Just about got these home on the train, probably the max I could take via public transport. Lucky I took my larger backpack specifically for the purpose  ;)

Sorry about quality of photos, but as mentioned on many an occasion I struggle with the focus on my phone.  :-\

All 1/72

Arma Hobby Sea Hurricane Mk IIc
2 x Airfix Me 410's
Eduard Me 109 G2 & G2 combo. 2 kits, Masks, etch and 14 options of markings  :thumbsup:
Eduard Overtress boxing of the Hellcat Mk 1 and its associated masking set. £9-50 the two items  :thumbsup:

Plus some filler and various other bits and bob I was running short of.

I saw those Sea Hurricanes, as well as their new B/C Mustangs and then I saw the price.  Nigh on THIRTY notes!!!!  For a 72nd injection mustang?  Sex, travel and their mothers was my immediate thought. 
Anyone who is willing to pay that is simply not being taxed highly enough and quite frankly needs horsewhipped.  Once they realise they can get away with charging that, prices will rocket.

Nearly 30 quid for the 72nd Mustang is day light robbery..in kiwi coins 30 £ is $62.50 at the mo ..I got a Tamiya Mosquito for $60 in 48th .
I could still get a Tamiya P51D for $50 or a Airfix Mustang for a couple of bucks more.
Stupid arse price that .
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .

Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

As well as four holes that are used for the Fuel Tanks and probably the WGr 21 as well, there is a set of three holes in a line, from the front of the wing to the rear for something as well as a set of holes under the wings near the fuselage which could be for small bomb carriers as they were carried for a while.

Airfix effectively released it at the Telford Show, having already distributed many thousands of them to their retailers. Almost every trader had them for sale there.

The last time I went looking at 1/72 Hasegawa P-51s was when they were $20 Kiwibucks and that was a deal-breaker back then!

$50 now, you say? 'A Chunk Of Earth' that!
And I thought $50 was a silly price for a 1/72 twin... :banghead:  :banghead:

Have I mentioned before I'm Cheap? I have? As you were, then. ;)

So happy I have all the Revell, FROG, Airfix and whatnot stuff I will need in the Stash already...
