I've said it before, I'll say it again: BLATANT false/misleading advertising on Airfix's part by having different box art to the profile of what's actually in the box.

Well they've started doing WWI fighters, so if this is the way they're going a Camel would seem to be on the cards. Not sure I want to see the artwork for a dive-bombing Skua though.... :blink:

Will it have accurately moulded toes?

Never mind the toes, will it have one hump or two?  ;D

IMO the number of humps is directly proportional to the camel toe...

Its a new 1/48th P-40B based on the Duxford example, along with the other variant of the 1/72ns Kate - Still no sign of the other Beaufighters or Whitleys yet  :banghead:.

I was going to say "Not another bl**dy P-40B but then I remembered that the older Monogram/Hobbycraft/etc kits are showing their age and the Trumpeter kit needs correction so it would be nice if Airfix have put in some effort on this one. Still holding out for that Spit XIV ;).
