Sprue Fa instead of F, quite interesting error. It seems that D-30 parts are injected already.

Sure. And there’s a strong possibility that my kit wasn’t the only one with the wrong version fuselage.

Well, you have the same box as my kits, but my fuselages do not have the dorsal fin.

It was weird. I have a second kit coming in the next days, from a different source, probably with the correct parts ( I hope… ).

Well, I think it worked. This is my kit’s fuselage with the yet unreleased dorsal fin.

Cool! Pictures please, we haven't seen the other fuselage plastic yet 🙂

I will try to post. Have to figure out how to do it.

A gorgeous kit, but I find it weird that I have just received my D-25 kit with a D-30/D-40 fuselage, with the dorsal fin! No worry, as it’s just a case of choosing a different plane to model.

[Eduard new P40 familiy in a next future (1/48?)]

Eduard’s October newsletter brings a comment by Mr. Sulc about a trip to Italy with a “plan on hitting the museum in Piana delle Orme”, where they wanted to have a close look to one exhibit.

The exhibit that would make more sense is a P-40L that’s displayed there.

I'd never even heard of the brand.

The only plastic kit ever to be developed by the brand, a general plastics and toy industry here in Brazil. In fact, that’s the kit that introduced me to scale models, in the early 60’s. I believe it was released around 1961-62, not 1963. Other kit releases by Atma Paulista were from Hawk, Monogram and Merit tools.

I believe AMK's kit front fuselage is in one piece ( just like the Mig 31 ), while GWH's kit images do suggest it's divided in left and right halves.
