Another of this year´s news will be two models of anti-submarine aeroplane AF-2 Guardian. There will be covered both versions, the "Sub-Killer" AF-2S as well as the search radar equipped "Hunter" AF-2W.

Both in the 48th scale.

Looking forward to this model, however it does mean that I'll have buy two, eg one of each version. Hopefully they will be available soon?

Good effort on a much under appreciated airframe. Box art appears spot on.
