I saw the Twin Mustang at Telford, but the box was sealed. Is it a brand new mould or the original Monogram mould revisited?

[Martin H]

its a new tool Kit. I laid my hands on one in Prague back in September.

Which is better?

The Monogram kit is pretty good, or was for its age anyway. I've built two of them and they almost fell together, and one was converted to the only RF-82B, which many people think is a Whiff, but not so.

The Spitfires are due within three to four weeks, according to one of the dudes on the MPM stand at Telford last week.

Just look at the detail!  I'm hoping that the 22/24/46/47 willbe like the AZ kit and you have to fill relevent panel lines.  In addition, if they've done separate carb scoops with the breakdown similar to the 48th Airfix kit, it'll mean it's easier to do a speculative late F.26 Spitfire.  And will the clear sprue have the spare bits in every kit?

I can see my wallet taking a real battering with these!

Thanks for that Lee. I'll have to chain the wallet down before it runs off screaming

There's a trader on ebay knocking out the Admiral Spits for at least a fiver cheaper than hannants.  Even with the postage factored in, you save a few quid.

I've never seen that version with the wing tip tanks and added finlets before. Did it, or them, actually fly like that? And why?

[NARSES2]

As far as I'm aware yes Kit. It's one of the NACA test fits when the aircraft were handed over to them

Hope they repop the Blohm und Voss P.215 nightfighter.
