Are the decals for the Gladiator different between the "Normal" boxing and the "Starter Kit" boxing?

Yes, Shuttleworth Collection and Irish Air Corps markings in the standard boxing, 80 Sqn RAF markings with night/white undersides in the starter set.

[Gondor]

Maybe I should just buy the "Normal" boxing and then look for decal sheets for alternatives rather than end up with lots of paint and brushes that I don't want or need.

I've never seen a 'normal' Vampire T11 kit so far, but loads of the blasted gift sets are around. Airfix do seem to get the Gift Sets out first these days.

I bought the standard Gladiator and am doing her in the dk earth/green/night/white scheme. I just find if I buy a starter set I don't use the add ons, however the option is sometimes more attractive to me 

Around here the standard Vampire is easy to get hold of. The starter pack which if I was to buy a Vampire has the markings I would want is the difficult one to get ? Mind you I could look in Hobby whatever it is

[Spey_Phantom]

im going to the UK in a couple of weeks, and im definatly going to get some new Airfix kits.
especially the new Vampire and Gladiator. 

any idea when the new 1/72 Hurricane Mk.I (Early) is going to be released?

[Gondor]

Yes, Shuttleworth Collection and Irish Air Corps markings in the standard boxing, 80 Sqn RAF markings with night/white undersides in the starter set.

As I was settling down for the night I looked at an advert on the back of a modelling magazine. Lo and Behold there were both boxing's of the Gladiator advertised along with the box numbers against the options..... 

Maybe we need a "blond" icon on here?

Currently no Nils, I'm waiting for it to. They normally advertise new kits in the magazines a month prior to being able to get them and its not appeared yet

[Gondor]

Lancaster MK II is advertised for release at the end of this month, I have reserved one at Wonderland in Edinburgh who say that the Support Equipment pack will be available about the same time!

Hey Nils: could you see what the part breakdown was like on the Lightning? Have they made the belly pack a separate piece?
