Mainly the large prop, the Panzerblitz rocket racks from the F (not interested in the rockets) and the spare fuselage (one kit definitely came with spare wings and fuselages).  Need a spare in case the planned cut and shut with a Ta 152 tail doesn't go quite to plan...

Bumping to add a spare A-5/8 fuselage to replace the chopped one in the kit I've just got off eBay. The seller had chopped off the front to install the Eduard resin before realising life was too short. 

The good thing is that I can use the chopped fuselage as a test bed for the replacement back end.

I've a Profipack A-5 in the stash and that has 2 complete sprues for fuselage and upper wings (from memory) and to be honest I never worked out why ?

You're welcome to that if you want ? I'll be up for Northern Show but can post it.

Magic! PM inbound later.

As to why, whilst the fuselage is the same length as the A-8, the wings have the MG FF whereas late A-5s and the A-6 onwards had the MG 151/20 as standard on the heavy wing.  I suspect it's down to the armament fit and giving the modeller more choice.
