The outer pylons on a Ju88 are the same where as the two inner are handed.

The clear nose of the later marks does seem to be included (on the clear sprue natch) and is also applicable to later marks of the B.II aircraft.

Ah, I see!  :thumbsup: Didn't know that.

I don't know very much about Ju-88's but I was wondering why there's only three bomb racks

I think it depends upon which version is being modelled.  IIRC the earlier Ju88s could only carry three of the larger bombs and so only had three racks.  They were asymmetrical as well.

From the sprue shots, the 88 looks to be bang on the money and at a price that more than trumps Hasegawa. 

The way it's broken down is similar, so I'm wondering if some of the spare Hasegawa bits will fit the Revell one.

That new JU88 does look like the dogs danglies!!!! I can see myself getting few of them to go with the few I have now.

I note that the Revell Meteor Mk.4 appears to be out.  I just saw an EvilBay advert for one for sale.

The Revell Meteor F4 was in Holborn Modelzone at the start of last week, along with Airfix Zeros but no Angel Interceptors.

The Meteor has been out for about a month. The Halifax and A400 look great but I'm not sure about the Torpedoes on the NH-90.

I saw a part built test shot of the A400 at the MPM factory in Prague last month. Im assuming that MPM had a hand in producing the master.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

I'm not aware of it having been mentioned here and as this is where I am reliant on such information from, I thought it would be a good idea to tell others as well.

I'm interested in the A400 but the NH-90?  Meh.

cool, i'll have to pick up on of the revised NH.90 kits to nab the pylons for my Finnish NH.90 update (new intake guards, weapons pylons, door guns, etc)  :thumbsup: the built model looks really neat, hmm, methinks a 'Merivoimat' example might have to be completed, based on an artwork by John Lacet of an EH.101 in Finnish Navy colours  :wacko:

Think there was some comment in the stash thread about it but I know we've had then in for about a month.

Will be getting the E-4B to do as a civvy 747 and maybe the 48th Wessex but for troops instead of the ASW one in the piccie.
