Three questions regarding: 1/48 ICM Ju 88; Zvezda Gustav; Airfix Hurricane

[galfa]

1) The new ICM A-5 includes parts for an A-4?

2) Any news about the long awaited Zvezda Me 109 G-6?

3) What is wrong with the wheels of the new Hurricane from Airfix?

1. No, the A-5 is like an A-1, there are multiple differences.

The A-5 preceded the A-4 (the one Dragon used for their 88A-4 and C-6). The A-5 had different cowls, props and fin/rudder, and there were canopy and lower gondola variations as well. The photo-recon version of the A-5 was the D-2.

If someone wanted a 1/48 Battle of Britain Ju 88 in this anniversary year, then an A-5 would fill the bill. The A-5s served from the deserts of N. Africa to the North Cape and White Sea, from the North Atlantic to Black Sea.

2. no, in progress according to a thread on Hyperscale

3. wheels are slightly too big.

Airfix Hurricane is mostly excellent, but has few glitches

this is the best build so far
