Possibly a new cockpit and wheelbay. It's a beautiful kit but the cockpit is a little bare and the wheel wells are too shallow.

Looks like they haven't done anything with the top cowl, which never fits properly as it's not quite wide enough - it's been out for nearly 20 years and in all that time not ONE reviewer has mentioned it! Easy fix - invert the cowl part, run a scalpel along the angle joins until they can be bent outwards and attach to fuselage and apply a little pressure until they splay out to join properly.

I've pretty much every Aoshima boxing in the loft at me Mam's but since giving up doing Luftwaffe, that's where they'll stay. I could be tempted though to get the two seater and the recce job. The price is good too - they were about £16 when they first came out in 1996 and in real terms the price has well and truly fallen.

And I thought I was being clever, picking them up for around 8 pounds, whereas they now look to be just over 10. (Don't look at the Maths). If all that resin they show on the Czech site is included, you're getting as well as the kit, the Kora engine set (9 squids at Hannants). They'll toss in the wheels AND the wells (it seems from the photo) - 4 squids at Hannants. Cockpits go for 7. Ouch.
